Create a Target Space for Your Environment
To deploy an agent network, you need a target space. You can either create a private space for CloudHub 2.0 deployment or a target space for Runtime Fabric (limited availability). For more information about Runtime Fabric deployments, see Managed Flex Gateway on Runtime Fabric.
Create a Private Space for CloudHub 2.0 Deployment
-
Open Anypoint Runtime Manager.
-
Select the environment to use.
-
Select Private Spaces.
-
Select Create private space.
-
Enter a name for the private space. We recommend
agent-network-space. -
Select Create.
-
Select Create private network.
-
For the created private space, select Environments.
-
Associate the space with the business group and environments you need to deploy your agent network to. You must complete this step so that the private space appears as a valid deployment target in Anypoint Code Builder and Anypoint CLI.
Set Up Agent Network Gateways for Your Target Space
After you create a target space, set up the ingress and egress gateways for deployment. For agent networks, at least one small Managed Flex Gateway and one large Managed Flex Gateway is required in your environment. For more information about gateways, see Flex Gateway Deployment Models. For more information about Runtime Fabric deployments, see Managed Flex Gateway on Runtime Fabric.
-
In Anypoint Code Builder, open Command Palette.
-
Select MuleSoft: Set Up Agent Network Gateways.
-
If you’re not logged in, log in to your Anypoint Platform account.
-
Select the business group, environment, and private space.
These gateways are created automatically in the selected private space.
