Manage an app

You can create a managed application based on an application already known to Astra. When an application is managed, you can protect it by taking regular backups and snapshots.

Before you begin

You must have the ID of the discovered app you want to manage. If needed you can use the workflow List the unmanaged apps to locate the application.

1. Manage the application

Perform the following REST API call.

HTTP method	Path
POST	/account/{accountID}/k8s/v1/managedApps

Additional input parameters

In addition to the parameters common with all REST API calls, the following parameters are also used in the curl examples for this step.
