Configure connections

The component dependencies are defined using connections in QMCLOUD.

As the resources may not exist yet in Azure, the connections define the resource properties as variables and pass the appropriate output properties when created to the dependent components.

The following dependencies are defined using connections:

• Select the "Connections" option on the Canvas as shown below.

• On the "Create connection" dialog box, choose the Resource Group and its name sub property as the source and App Service Plan and the "ResourceGroupName" as the sub property for the target as shown below and click on Submit to create the connection.

• The connection is created as shown below. This connection passes the Resource Group name to the App Service Plan in Azure.

• Similarly, create a connection to define the dependency between Resource group and the sub property of Resource group name of the Web App resource. The connection properties are shown below:

• Similarly, create a connection to define the dependency between App Service Plan id and the sub property of ServerFarmID of the Web App resource. The connection properties are shown below:

• The following diagram shows all the three components with the appropriate connections.

All the required connections and dependencies are now defined.
