Accessing Links to Provisioned Items
You can access links to provisioned items from a given request by appending /resourceViews to the
request details URI. For instance, you can edit the example request URI from as follows:
http://$host/catalog-service/api/consumer/requests/$requestId/resourceViews
In addition to the general information about the provisioned deployment returned in the response, such as
its name, description and ID, the response contains additional HATEOAS links.
