New ZAC Features
Hey Everyone! You may have noticed recently a few new features make their way into the Ziti Admin Console (ZAC). If you're already using them great! If you haven't come across them yet, or just want a better understanding of what's been added, below is a quick preview:
Simple Service Workflow
When clicking the + button from the services list page, users will now be presented with 2 creation workflows. Choose either the "Advanced" workflow (which will open the existing create/edit page), or the new "Simple" workflow.
The simple workflow is split into 3 main sections.
- Service Details (ie. name & attributes)
- Accessing Configuration
- Hosting Configuration
-
The Accessing Configuration maps to the creation of an intercept.v1 config and a service dial policy
-
The Hosting Configuration maps to the creation of a host.v1 config and a service bind policy
After hitting save you'll be prompted with a summary of all the entities that were created and associated with this service.
You'll also see options to copy the CLI Commands and/or API Requests that were used to create each individual service, config, and policy.
Identity Service Path Visualizer
The Visualizer assists users in creating a visual rendering of the connection(s) between the identity and the service, as well as identifying the accessible routers between the identity and the service. It provides an end-to-end overview on the identity-to-service communication pathway. You can find it as a menu option on the Identities list page.
If you get a chance, give these features a try and let us know if you have any questions or if you run into any issues.
Thanks!
