Formations Overview

A formation is a uplink.yaml file that declares the services, access policies, firewall rules, and inspector setting for a device.

uplink up
uplink up -f stack.yaml
uplink up -d
uplink reload
uplink down

uplink up reads the config, syncs inline rules into the local registries shared with the desktop app, saves the formation, and asks the local agent to serve it. Distinct edges are handled by the serving supervisor.

uplink reload re-reads the config and re-declares the saved formation. uplink down clears the formation and stops it.
