JFrog Bridges establish secure, encrypted connections between JFrog Platform Deployments (JPDs) in hybrid topologies. This allows you to seamlessly connect JFrog SaaS and Self-managed JPDs through a private channel.
This section describes APIs that let you Manage JFrog Bridges as in the JFrog Platform interface.
Bridges in YAML
Bridges that you define directly in system.yaml appear in the Bridges table of the JFrog Platform interface, but they cannot be managed using the Platform interface or the Bridge APIs. Use only the jFrog Platform interface or the Bridge APIs to create and manage Bridges.
Each JFrog Bridge connects a Bridge Server JPD to a Bridge Client JPD. Most of these APIs call the Bridge Client service that runs on the Self-managed JPD.
To use these APIs, you need a valid admin token.
