The “Import” feature enables you to bring in Virtual Tenants that have been previously exported in .json format.
This format is tailored for transferring Virtual Tenant definitions between environments, such as moving from a staging to a production account. It is particularly beneficial for creating multiple similar Virtual Tenants with slight variations by editing the JSON file directly, bypassing the need for a creation wizard.
Benefits of the “Import” functionality:
- Effortlessly duplicate complex configurations across various environments or application instances.
- Maintain and manage different configuration versions, allowing for easy reversion to past setups.
- Distribute Virtual Tenant configurations among team members or across departments for consistency.
