Install and map SaaS GitLab resources in Service Catalog

Uses: Service Catalog Konnect API

Deployment Platform:

Prerequisites

Kong Konnect

If you don’t have a Konnect account, you can get started quickly with our onboarding wizard.

The following Konnect items are required to complete this tutorial:
- Personal access token (PAT): Create a new personal access token by opening the Konnect PAT page and selecting Generate Token.
Set the personal access token as an environment variable:
```
export KONNECT_TOKEN='YOUR KONNECT TOKEN'
```

Konnect roles

You need the Integration Admin role in Konnect to install and authorize Service Catalog integrations.

SaaS GitLab access

You must have a GitLab.com subscriptions and the Owner role in the GitLab group to authorize the integration. You need a project in GitLab that you want to pull in to Konnect.

Authorize the GitLab integration

From the Service Catalog in Konnect, select Integrations.
Click GitLab, then click Add GitLab instance.
Select GitLab (SaaS), authorize GitLab to connect your account, and enter gitlab for your instance name.

Create a service in Service Catalog

Create a service that you’ll map to your GitLab resources:

 curl -X POST "https://us.api.konghq.com/v1/catalog-services" \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer $KONNECT_TOKEN" \
     --json '{
       "name": "billing",
       "display_name": "Billing Service"
     }'

Export the service ID:

export GITLAB_SERVICE_ID='YOUR-SERVICE-ID'

List GitLab resources

Before you can map your GitLab resources to a service in Service Catalog, you first need to find the resources that are pulled in from GitLab:

 curl -X GET "https://us.api.konghq.com/v1/resources?filter%5Bintegration.name%5D=gitlab" \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer $KONNECT_TOKEN"

You might need to manually sync your GitLab integration for resources to appear. From the Konnect UI by navigating to the GitLab integration you just installed and selecting Sync Now from the Actions dropdown menu.

Export the resource ID you want to map to the service:

export GITLAB_RESOURCE_ID='YOUR-RESOURCE-ID'

Map resources to a service

Now, you can map the GitLab resource to the service:

 curl -X POST "https://us.api.konghq.com/v1/resource-mappings" \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer $KONNECT_TOKEN" \
     --json '{
       "service": "billing",
       "resource": "'$GITLAB_RESOURCE_ID'"
     }'

Validate the mapping

To confirm that the GitLab resource is now mapped to the intended service, list the service’s mapped resources:

 curl -X GET "https://us.api.konghq.com/v1/catalog-services/$GITLAB_SERVICE_ID/resources" \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer $KONNECT_TOKEN"
