Description

Jobs to be done (optional)

The Event Gateway API supports both referencing by id and name, but examples are using both. We should prefer one of the options.

Definition of done

Instead of using a mix of name and ref:

virtual_clusters:
    - ref: example-name
      name: example-name
      destination:
        name: example-backend-cluster

use ref:

id: !ref example-backend-cluster#id
