You can model third-party deployments using the Ansible Tower plugin and service catalog item.
To model a third-party deployment with Ansible Tower:
-
From the main menu, select Service catalog.
-
Select Ansible tower model.
-
Select Create.
-
Select your project.
-
Enter your deployment model details, including the Ansible Tower configuration, job template ID, and regular expression for the artifact.
-
Select OK. When you deploy the catalog item, the system creates an application and an environment. The application contains the following three-step component without artifacts, and:
-
Runs the Ansible playbook. This process requires the Ansible Tower plugin.
-
Creates a placeholder that allows you to add logic to extract artifacts.
-
Seeds the artifacts into the path-to-production inventory.
For more information, refer to Service catalog.
