Associating Business Groups and Environments to Runtime Fabric

Before deploying applications or API gateways to Anypoint Runtime Fabric, you must associate a Runtime Fabric with one or more Anypoint Platform environments. When deploying a Mule application, you cannot select a Runtime Fabric as a deployment target until you have performed this step in the environment where you want to deploy.

Runtime Fabric appliance does not support this feature.

Associate Business Groups

You can share Runtime Fabric with an organization’s business groups. This allows other business groups to deploy applications to a single Runtime Fabric. To use this feature, the business groups must fall under the scope of the organization the Runtime Fabric is registered to.

To associate a Runtime Fabric across business groups:

From Anypoint Platform, select Runtime Manager.
Select the Runtime Fabric tab on the left sidebar.
Select the Runtime Fabric to manage.
On the Environments tab, click Add business group.
Select the business groups from the drop-down list:
- This business group and its children
  
  This option allows you to select either all environments, all sandbox environment or all production environments for the selected business group and all its children.
- Selected business groups
  
  Enter the business group name in the Add business group field and select it from the list. This option allows you to select specific environments for root organizations as well as it’s children.

Click Save Changes or Discard Changes to discard or confirm the association.

Production Environments

When selecting a production environment, a dialog is displayed that verifies Runtime Fabric has been configured to operate in a production setting. This includes proper hardware configuration, log forwarding, alerting, and possible failure modes.

If your Runtime Fabric is running with an unsupported configuration or does not meet the requirements for a production environment, one of the following messages is displayed:

This Runtime Fabric is not supported for any workloads. Learn more.
This Runtime Fabric is suitable for non-production workloads only. Learn more.
