Application Overview

In Wayfinder, Applications are a way to model the elements of your applications (containers, cloud resources, environments, etc) to simplify deployment and provisioning. Applications should consist of things that follow the same software lifecycle and would typically be deployed together, although individual components can be deployed separately.

CLI Quick Reference

Instruction	CLI Command
Create an application	wf create application

Create an Application

You can create an application:

• With the wf create application command.
• Through Wayfinder's web interface by selecting Workspaces, and then navigating to All Applications.
  Click on the Create Application button and enter the details.

After you have created your application you need to:

• Define the Components that make up your application
• Define an Environment in which your application will be deployed to
• Deploy your entire application or individual components, into your environment
• View log files if you need to troubleshoot your deployment
