About Resources

Explaining resources in NoVPS Cloud Platform

A resource is a building block that makes up an application. If your application does not contain any resources, it does not exist: users will never see it, and no useful work will be done.

﻿

There are the following types of resources:

•web-app — the Docker image will have its own public domain, through which it will be accessible on the global Internet. For correct operation, you must specify an HTTP port that can accept requests and return responses.

•worker — use this type for background tasks or for internal http/tcp services that must always be running.

For example, this could be an event queue handler or a private API that should not be publicly accessible but will be used by other resources within the application (Internal Ports must be configured for correct operation)

•cron-job — this is a scheduled task that must be run on a specific schedule. It is not accessible via http/tcp publicly or within the application. It only runs at the scheduled time; the container is not used at other times.
