Managing Connectors in Applications
Scenario
A connector is an integration tool for calling third-party services. The platform encapsulates different types of connectors to connect to third-party services, such as OBS, MINIO, Redis, Cloud Search Service, OCR, IEF, and SMS. With connectors, developers do not need to pay attention to the implementation code. They only need to configure the service address and authentication information to quickly integrate third-party systems in flows or scripts.
In Huawei Cloud Astro Zero, the need to recreate a connector after installing an application depends on whether Package Current Configuration is selected during the connector's creation in the application development phase (this option is selected by default). When packaging a connector, any sensitive data it contains will be included. Avoid this option in scenarios where information security is critical.

- If you select Package Current Configuration, the connector information is packaged into the application package. Once the application is deployed to the runtime environment, the connector information is automatically synchronized to the runtime environment, eliminating the need to recreate the connector.
- If you do not select Package Current Configuration, the connector information is not packaged into the application package. Consequently, upon deployment, the connector information is not synchronized to the runtime environment, requiring you to recreate all connectors used by the application post-installation.
Creating a Connector
- Log in to the Huawei Cloud Astro Zero console and click Access Homepage. The application development page is displayed.
- In the upper left corner of the page, click
and choose Environments > Environment Configuration.
- In the navigation pane, choose Integrated Connection > Connectors.
On the connector page, you can view the connector types supported by Huawei Cloud Astro Zero.
- Click the connector icon to create a connector.
The operations of creating a connector in the environment configuration are basically the same as those during application development, except for the entry. For details, see Using Connectors to Interconnect with Cloud Services.
