Tutorials on Open Component Model

Create a Multi-Component Product

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Overview

Real-world software products rarely consist of a single component. A web platform, for example, might combine a frontend, a backend, shared configuration, and deployment manifests — each versioned independently. The OCM component constructor lets you model this entire hierarchy in a single file, wiring components together with references, attaching provenance metadata, and injecting versions through environment variables.

Understand Credential Resolution

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Overview

Every time OCM accesses a registry, it resolves credentials automatically. This tutorial walks you through how that resolution works — given a config, which credentials does OCM pick for each request, and why?

Deploy Helm Charts with Bootstrap Setup

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

What You’ll Learn

In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to package deployment instructions (a ResourceGraphDefinition) inside an OCM component, so operators can deploy your Helm chart without knowing the underlying resource structure. You’ll also learn localization—how to automatically update image references in the deployment instructions when transferring components between registries.

Working with Resolvers

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Overview

When a component has references to other components stored in different repositories, the CLI needs to know where to find them. Resolvers map component name patterns to repositories so the CLI can automatically locate referenced components during recursive operations. For a high-level introduction, see the Resolvers concept page. For configuration details and pattern syntax, see the Resolver Configuration Reference.
