Communicate with other workloads ¶

Use service discovery to call another workload in the same environment.

To call a workload in another environment, use its ingress.

Prerequisites ¶

Identify the target address ¶

Find the target application's name and the team it belongs to. Use the team name wherever the examples below show <team-name>.

Call an application in your team ¶

If both applications belong to the same team and run in the same environment, use:

http://<app-name>

Call an application in another team ¶

If the target application belongs to another team in the same environment, include its team name:

http://<app-name>.<team-name>

When you move an application to another team, update callers to use its new address and update access policies on both sides.

Call the address ¶

Call the workload through its internal address using HTTP from your own workload:

GET /resource HTTP/1.1

Host: <app-name>.<team-name>
