Radius Resource IDs

Overview

Each resource in Radius has a unique identifier called a resource ID. Resource IDs have a common structure that allows resources to reference one-another. Resource IDs also map directly to the URLs used for a resource’s lifecycle operations which is convenient for navigating the API.

The common structure of a resource ID is:

{rootScope}/providers/{resourceNamespace}/{resourceType}/{resourceName}

Root scope

A hierarchical set of key-value pairs that identify the origin of the resource. Root scopes answer questions like:

• “What cloud is this resource from?”
• “What cloud account contains this resource?”
• “What Kubernetes cluster is running this Pod?”.

Resource namespace and resource type

The namespace and type of a resource. These are defined together because resource types are usually two segments - a vendor namespace and a type name.

Resource name

The name of the resource.

Examples

This example shows a Radius Application named my-app in the my-group resource group, running on the local cluster:
