Share Outputs from AWS/AZURE Components with other Components #857

Description

Recently we have been contacted from a usecase developer who asks for the following feature:

For instance, we have a front-end (an EDP managed OpenShift Angular app) that needs to the know the URL for our back-end API (API Gateway deployed via AWS Quickstarter (Terraform))

The current cloud components does not support that feature but I'd like to propose the following solution:
Assuming we have an ODS project X, which contains one AWS component called be (backend), a fronted component fe and an mro component (release manager).

  • Since the pipeline for ods-infra components will be executed for each environment (dev/test/prod) individually we can write component outputs into a configmap during each deployment stage.
  • To preserve uniqueness the configmap entry shall follow a pattern: components name plus a suffix, eg. for our example be-outputs. This entry will contain the outputs in JSON format.
  • We only need to take care that the ods-infra component pipeline will be executed before the frontend => mro component.

What do you think? Any suggestions or alternative solutions?
