dump-all

This command dumps routes in a readable YAML format to stdout. We recommend redirecting output to a file for convenience.

vgs --tenant=tnteipi8liw --environment=sandbox route --dump-all

Recommended way of using the command

vgs --tenant=tnteipi8liw --environment=sandbox route --dump-all > tnteipi8liw.yml

sync-all

This command synchronizes updates to routes back upstream. It takes a YAML document with routes via stdin.

Important

For this command to work the following conditions should hold

• YAML document should be a result of a previous output from dump-all.
• You can only make changes to the entities in the original YAML document, and you must keep ids as is.

vgs --tenant=tnteipi8liw --environment=sandbox route --sync-all < tnteipi8liw.yml

create-all

This command creates new routes in a vault. An input YAML document should take the same form as an output of the dump-all command. A typical use case for this command is a migration of routes from a sandbox environment to live

vgs --tenant=tnt3lmevlos --environment=live route --create-all < tnteipi8liw.yml

version

Prints current CLI version.

vgs version

Typical scenarios

Migrate routes from a sandbox environment to live

• Sandbox tenant: tnt_sandbox
• Live tenant: tnt_live

1. Dump routes from a sandbox vault locally

   vgs --tenant=tnt_sandbox --environment=sandbox route --dump-all > tnt_sandbox.yml
   

2. Re-create routes in a live vault

   vgs --tenant=tnt_live --environment=live route --create-all < tnt_sandbox.yml
   

3. Dump new routes from a live environment locally. We recommend to keep them in a separate file

   vgs --tenant=tnt_live --environment=live route --dump-all > tnt_live.yml
   

4. Update migrated routes in tnt_live.yml, if needed. Typically you may need to make changes to some upstream configurations that you were using when testing.

5. Sync changes back to tnt_live

   vgs --tenant=tnt_live --environment=live route --sync-all < tnt_live.yml
   

6. Modify upstream hosts for migrated routes to match your live API's. A typical example is switching development environment to production one on live routes after migration.
