Components

IBM Industry Solutions Workbench offers you to use three different types of components when composing applications: the built-in framework components, external 3rd party components and customer-built components. If you want to create customer-build components, refer to creating customer-build components or if you want to know how to add external components to an application composition project, please see working with 3rd party components.

A component is basically a Helm Chart of the service project. This way, you can integrate and compose already existing components either if they are built by you or developed by other vendors.

Each component repository is represented by a Helm chart repository and an image registry hosted by you or an external party. If you are the owner of this Helm Chart repository or image registry, then you can define access permissions individually for each repository by creating them in different repository groups.

To provide users with the option to share service projects as component there needs to be at least one component repository with write access configured.
