๐๏ธ Provisioning Through Deploy
Deploy's provisioning feature allows you to provide fully automated, on-demand access to your public, private, or hybrid cloud-based environments.
๐๏ธ Deploy Provisioning Example
This topic provides a step-by-step example that will help you get started with Deploy provisioning in cloud-based environments.
๐๏ธ Create an Environment
This topic covers environments, which are groupings of infrastructure and middleware items such as hosts, servers, clusters, and so on. An environment is used as the target of a deployment, allowing you to map deployables to members of the environment.
๐๏ธ Provision an Environment
This topic describes how to use Deploy's provisioning feature to create cloud-based environments in a single action. The provisioning process in Deploy is similar to deploying an application.
๐๏ธ Create a Provisioning Package
This topic describes the process of creating and configuring a provisioning package in Deploy.
๐๏ธ Create a Provider
This topic describes how to create a provider in Deploy, which is a set of credentials needed to connect to a cloud technology.
๐๏ธ Use Provisioning Outputs in Templates
This topic provides information on using provisioning outputs in templates.
๐๏ธ Use Orchestrators With Provisioning
In Deploy, an orchestrator combines the steps for individual component changes into an overall deployment or provisioning workflow. Orchestrators are also responsible for deciding which parts of the deployment or provisioning plan are executed sequentially or in parallel. You can combine multiple orchestrators for more complex workflows.
๐๏ธ Use Placeholders in Provisioning
You can use placeholders for configuration item (CI) properties that will be replaced with values during provisioning. Use this to create provisioning packages that are environment-independent and reusable.
๐๏ธ Undeploy an Application or Deprovision an Environment
This topic provides information on how to undeploy an application. To remove an application and its components from an environment, you need to undeploy the application. Similarly, to tear down a cloud-based environment provisioned by Deploy, you need to deprovision it.
๐๏ธ Make Previously Deployed Property Values Available in a PowerShell Script
You can use the Deploy rules system and a PowerShell script to find and update the value of a previously deployed property with a new deployed property value.
