[Discuss] Using aliases in cartridge-group (to define dependencies) breaks reusability of cartridge groups

[Rajkumar Rajaratnam]

Hi Devs,

Using cartridge/group aliases in cartridge groups to define dependencies
breaks reusability of the cartridge group. And the cartridge group becomes
tightly coupled with an application, it can't be reused with another
application unless aliases are same in both applications.

{
    "name": "esb-php-group",
    "groupScalingEnabled": "true",
    "cartridges": [
        "esb",
        "php"
    ],
    "dependencies": {
        "startupOrders": [
            "cartridge.my-esb,cartridge.my-php"
        ],
        "terminationBehaviour": "terminate-all"
    }
}


What would be the solution here?

Thanks.
