Architectures

Architectures are templates that can be used to create Environments from library. Architectures look like Environments but the difference is that they don't have deploy action buttons like plan, apply, and destroy. The Architectures that you create are available to your organization only. Architecture are meant to be a utility for the users to quickly get started with their environments.

warning

Current Environments can't be upgraded with Architectures. Architectures are meant to be used only to create the Environments"

Only Admin users can create/modify/delete architectures. Editors can view the Architectures but they can't make anychanges to them

Creating Architecture Tree​

Just like in the Environment keep adding Modules and Data Sources to the tree. You can add elements to the tree by pressing the + button and remove the elements by pressing - button.

tip

Rather then hardcoding the values in the Modules and Data Sources it is better to define Global variables at the root level and then use those variables within the Modules and Data Sources. That way a user can adjust the global variables in one spot instead of searching the elements individually. Here is an example of Global Variables for Example AWS Databricks Architecture Example Global Variables
