Deploying a Blueprint¶

Once you have created a blueprint you can deploy it to a cloud platform. For details about creating a blueprint, refer to Creating a Blueprint.

To deploy a blueprint:

From the Blueprints page, select the blueprint you want to deploy.

Click on deploy in the top right.

Enter the Name of the deployment.

Select the target platform you want to deploy to.

Note

Currently only AWS and Azure are supported.

Select the cloud account you want to use to deploy the blueprint.

From the drop-down menu, select the Region in which the blueprint should be deployed and fill in any additional information required.

On the bottom of the page, there is a list of the appliances used by your blueprint. For each of these appliances, you can see their current status. All the appliances need to be ready (an appliance is ready when its last version is published to the selected region). If an appliance is not in Ready state, you will not be able to publish. You can prepare it for deployment directly from this page by clicking prepare.

The appliances that were not in Ready state will go to state Generation ongoing then to Publish ongoing.

Note

Using the prepare button will automate the generation and publication of all the appliances that are not in ready state. However, you could also generate and publish each appliance seperately.

Once all the appliances are ready, click on deploy in the top right. Once you launch the deployment, you will be redirected to the Deployments page. From here you can see the status of the blueprint. The elements will be flashing green throughout the deployment process. Then the status of each element is color coded:

green is ok

orange is stopped

red is error

The following is an example of a deployment.

If there is an issue or error on one of the appliances, it will appear in red and the error will be shown with a warning symbol, as shown below.

You can delete your deployment by clicking on terminate in the top right. This will stop and delete the deployment not only from UForge but also from your cloud account.

If you click on an application name, you can view the details of the deployment. For more information please visit Apache Brooklyn Official Documentation
