JSON Schema Validation

Atmos supports JSON Schema validation, which can validate the schema of configurations such as stacks, workflows, and vendoring manifests. JSON Schema is an industry standard and provides a vocabulary to annotate and validate JSON documents for correctness.

Example

# Validate 'vpc' component using JSON Schema in the 'plat-ue2-prod' stack
atmos validate component vpc -s plat-ue2-prod --schema-path vpc/validate-vpc-component.json --schema-type jsonschema

Configure Component Validation

In atmos.yaml, add the schemas section:

atmos.yaml

# Validation schemas (for validating atmos stacks and components)
schemas:
# https://json-schema.org
jsonschema:
# Can also be set using `ATMOS_SCHEMAS_JSONSCHEMA_BASE_PATH` ENV var, or `--schemas-jsonschema-dir` command-line arguments
# Supports both absolute and relative paths
base_path: "stacks/schemas/jsonschema"

In the component manifest, add the settings.validation section:

examples/quick-start-advanced/stacks/catalog/vpc/defaults.yaml


Add the following JSON Schema in the file stacks/schemas/jsonschema/vpc/validate-vpc-component.json:
