5.4. Complete flow

This section provides an overview of the flows between the components in Nubus for Kubernetes, external directories, and third-party applications. The figures show the access relationships, small black dotted lines, and the flow relationships, bold dashed colorful lines. The focus of this section is on the flow relationships. The section uses the following structure:

• Level 1 - Breakdown on the functional component level

• Level 2 - Breakdown on the data object types between the functional components

This section considers the following object types:

• Directory objects

• UDM objects

• Event objects

See also

Directory objects in data objects section

for information about Directory objects.

UDM objects in data objects section

for information about UDM objects.

Event objects in data objects section

for information about Event objects.

5.4.1. Functional components level

This section describes the flow relationships on the functional component level for the object types Directory objects, UDM objects, and Event objects. You find the visualization in Fig. 5.13. The description order follows the creation process of the objects, starting with the Directory object, following with the UDM objects, and finally the Event objects.

  • Directory Manager and back

  • Management UI and back

  • Provisioning Service

  • Portal Service

  • Third-party applications not part of Nubus for Kubernetes

  • Nubus Directory Importer

• Flow from External Directory service to Nubus Directory Importer.

UDM objects, blue line

• Flow from Management UI to Directory Manager and back.

• Flow from Nubus Directory Importer to Directory Manager.

• Flow from Directory Manager to:

  • Authorization Service

  • Portal Service

  • Third-party application not part of Nubus

  • Provisioning Service

Event objects, black line

• Flow from Provisioning Service to:

  • Consumer of Provisioning Service

  • Portal Service

  • End User Self Service
