ServiceConfig	ServiceConfig

The ServiceConfig is used to configure a service when it is added to an enclave (see add_service).

config = ServiceConfig(

The ports dictionary argument accepts a key value pair, where key is a user defined unique port identifier and value is a PortSpec object.

The files dictionary argument accepts a key value pair, where key is the path where the contents of the artifact will be mounted to and value is a Directory object or files artifact name. Using a Directory object with artifact_name is strictly equivalent to directly using the files artifact name as the value of the dictionary. This is just to simplify usage.

:::tip If you are trying to use a more complex versions of cmd and are running into issues, we recommend using cmd in combination with entrypoint. You can set the entrypoint to ["/bin/sh", "-c"] and then set the cmd to the command as you would type it in your shell. For example, cmd = ["echo foo | grep foo"] :::
