services
stanza in either the default environment configuration or the environment-specific configuration defines the services that will be deployed for your application. However you may want different services per template or by environment, for example, if you use RDS for staging and production and Postgres for your ephemeral environments. Let's take a look at two ways to add or remove services.postgres
is included in your default environment configuration and you want to remove it from your permanent template, find the environment_templates
section and include remove: true
, as shown in the code sample below. If you do not use the remove
directive, the parser will assume you just want to override parts of the service instead.postgres
in your default services, and only create the service in the ephemeral
section of the template using the syntax add: true
, as illustrated in the sample below. If you don't include the add
directive, the parser will assume you are trying to override an aspect of an existing service and give you an error, since the service name postgres
won't exist.postgres
service would appear in your default services
section. When you create a permanent environment, you can remove postgres
from the configuration and save it before deploying and your new environment will not include the service.
