Goal

You will remove Engineering’s local dependency on the Platform configuration without changing any resources in Konnect.

Replace the local reference

The initial apply loaded all three directories together. That allowed the relationship in engineering/model.yaml to resolve against platform/ai-gateway.yaml:

ai_gateway_models:
  - ref: engineering-assistant
    ai_gateway: !ref platform-aigw#id
    type: model

Engineering cannot resolve that ref when it loads only its own file. Open engineering/model.yaml in your editor and change the relationship to:

ai_gateway_models:
  - ref: engineering-assistant
    ai_gateway: !lookup { name: platform-aigw }
    type: model

Apply Engineering independently

Apply only the Engineering configuration:

kongctl apply -f engineering/model.yaml

Notice how you only give this apply operation the single engineering model declaration file.

The result should be a no-op:

No changes needed. Resources match configuration.

The relationship source changed, but the desired Engineering model did not. During planning, kongctl resolves the lookup to the same Platform AI Gateway ID used by the initial shared apply.
