Cloud Assembly – Extensibility with ABX (FaaS) – Part2
This is the second article in my mini series covering Cloud Assembly extensibility via ABX (Action Based Extensibility). Links to the other articles in the series are listed below: Part 1Part 3 In this article I am going to lay out an example extensibility scenario and start planning out a solution that will use ABX. … Continue reading Cloud Assembly – Extensibility with ABX (FaaS) – Part2
Cloud Assembly – Extensibility with ABX (FaaS) – Part1
A Brief Introduction In this series of articles I am going to cover creating and deploying an extensibility use case based on ABX. Links to the other articles in this series can be found here: Part 2Part 3 Before I get into creating actions and writing code I want to explain what ABX is and … Continue reading Cloud Assembly – Extensibility with ABX (FaaS) – Part1
Cloud Assembly – Using the API via vRO (Part 2)
In the previous article from this series I outlined an example use case for extensibility via vRO to the Cloud Assembly API. The links to the other articles in this series are below. Part 1 The first thing we are going to look at now that we have authentication into the Cloud Assembly API is … Continue reading Cloud Assembly – Using the API via vRO (Part 2)
Cloud Assembly – Using the API via vRO (Part 1)
Part 2 One of the things that you need to become familiar with as you use the Cloud Automation Services more and more is the Cloud Assembly API (and the CSP API). The API is required for some of the more advanced use cases leveraging extensibility that you might want to implement. A typical extensibility … Continue reading Cloud Assembly – Using the API via vRO (Part 1)
Cloud Assembly – Targetting a Specific vRO Instance
The last few deployment tests that I have run in Cloud Assembly have resulted in deployment failures, not because there is anything wrong with the blueprint in question but because the extensibility has failed. Normally I would put this down to mistakes in coding or bad error handling but in this case my workflow is … Continue reading Cloud Assembly – Targetting a Specific vRO Instance
Cloud Assembly – Using vRO to Apply Tags
In a previous article I covered how to add a vRO instance to Cloud Assembly so that it could be used for some form of extensibility. In this article we are going to use the vRO instance to update the properties of a deployed workload in Cloud Assembly as it goes through the build process. … Continue reading Cloud Assembly – Using vRO to Apply Tags
Cloud Assembly – Adding Your vRO Instance
This is a very quick article covering how to get Orchestrator added into Cloud Assembly so that it can be used for extensibility. This may seem quite obvious to some people however there are a few gotchas! Deploy an Orchestrator In order to connect in an on-prem vRO instance to Cloud Assembly you first need … Continue reading Cloud Assembly – Adding Your vRO Instance
vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager – Custom Unit Tests
vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager (vRSLCM) has its roots embedded firmly with CodeStream and the DevOps for IT management pack that is now no longer supported. Moving code/content between platforms and managing content were several of the main purposes of CodeStream and whilst vRSLCM does a number of other things, it still has a content management … Continue reading vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager – Custom Unit Tests
vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager – Extending Pipelines
I've been asked to talk about content management and extensibility using vRSLCM at an upcoming customer event so as part of the preparation I decided to mock up some scenarios. This article will cover one of these scenarios and deals with content pipelines and extensibility. What You Should Not Do Before we dive into configuration … Continue reading vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager – Extending Pipelines
