Outputs

outputs provide a way of exposing global aspects of a deployment. When deployed, a service template can expose specific outputs of that deployment - for instance, an endpoint of a server or any other runtime or static information of a specific resource.

Declaration

outputs:
  output1:
    ...
  output2:
    ...

Definition

Keyname	Required	Type	Description
description	no	string	An optional description for the output.
values	yes	<any>	The output value. May be anything from a simple value (e.g. port) to a complex value (e.g. hash with values). Output values can contain hard-coded values, inputs, properties and attributes.

Example

tosca_definitions_version: tosca_dsl_1_3

  webserver_vm:
    type: tosca.nodes.Compute
  webserver:
    type: tosca.nodes.WebServer
    properties:
        port: 8080

outputs:
    webapp_endpoint:
        description: ip and port of the web application
        value:
            ip: { get_attribute: [webserver_vm, ip] }
            port: { get_property: [webserver, port] }

Outputs
