Request body

namestring required

The name of the scope.

type'custom' | 'web_pool' | 'web_pool_k8s' | 'serverless' required

Defines the kind of scope to create.

ℹ️ Note:

• Agent-backed scopes: Use custom to create a scope managed by your installed agent. This is the recommended and most flexible option for new scopes.

• Legacy scopes: The other types are older, predefined scope types that depend on fixed infrastructure configurations.

provider'your_provider_id' | 'GOOGLE:WEB_POOL:GKE' | 'AZURE:WEB_POOL:AKS' | 'OCI:WEB_POOL:OKE' | 'AWS:WEB_POOL:EKS' | 'AWS:WEB_POOL:EC2INSTANCES' | 'AWS:SERVERLESS:LAMBDA'

Identifies the provider that powers this scope.

ℹ️ Note:

• Agent-backed scopes: The UUID of the scope specification you created. This UUID is returned when you define a new scope specification and acts as your provider ID.

• Legacy scopes: One of the predefined provider strings (for example, "AWS:WEB_POOL:EKS" or "GOOGLE:WEB_POOL:GKE").

application_idinteger required

The ID of the application that owns this scope.

capabilitiesobject

Optional features such as logging, auto scaling, and spot instances. See the capabilities docs.

messagesobject

Additional system messages related to the scope's status or configuration.

external_createdboolean

tier'testing' | 'non_critical' | 'important' | 'critical'

Defines the tier type of the scope.

domainstring

A custom domain for the scope. Auto-generated if not provided.

dimensionsobject

Defines runtime configuration dimensions, such as environment or region, that apply to this scope.

profilesstring[]

NRN profiles to apply to this scope, independent of runtime configurations.

instance_idstring

A unique identifier for the runtime instance to associate with this scope. This value is typically set by the scope agent or cloud provider during provisioning.
