AWS::AppMesh::VirtualService

Creates a virtual service within a service mesh.

A virtual service is an abstraction of a real service that is provided by a virtual node directly or indirectly by means of a virtual router. Dependent services call your virtual service by its virtualServiceName, and those requests are routed to the virtual node or virtual router that is specified as the provider for the virtual service.

For more information about virtual services, see Virtual services.

{ "Ref": "myVirtualService" }

When you pass the logical ID of an AWS::AppMesh::VirtualService resource to the intrinsic Ref function, the function returns the virtual service ARN, such as arn:aws:appmesh:us-east-1:555555555555:virtualService/myVirtualService .

For more information about using the Ref function, see Ref.

Fn::GetAtt

The Fn::GetAtt intrinsic function returns a value for a specified attribute of this type. The following are the available attributes and sample return values.
