CloudForms Hackathon
Last week we held a Hackathon in Berlin thanks to Christian Jung and Fabien Dupont. We had 35 attendees contributing to 12 tracks covering tons of topics related to State Machines, Ansible, Dynamic Resource Object and High Availability
If you want to join us next time, please let us know! We will be more than happy!
This part will focus on how to create the Custom Button using an Ansible playbook.
CloudForms 4.6 has introduced more options while creating a button. This topic will be discussed in another post.
This series is highlighting the improvements and new capabilities introduced with CloudForms 4.6 about Ansible Custom Buttons.
The Ansible Playbook used in this example will install a user-specified package on the selected virtual machine.
Here is the video of the live demo Maxim Burgerhout and myself performed at Red Hat Summit in San Francisco 2018.
We hope to see you there!
If you are around, please don’t forget to come to the Management & Automation booth and say hello! We´ll have something for you!
Are you coming to Red Hat Summit? We are!
This will be my first summit and I cannot be more excited! I will meet a lot of interesting people and I am sure there will be outstanding announces as well. I can’t wait for it
Please check-out the labs our team is delivering during Red Hat Summit… they’re super interesting!
You can find the full agenda here but here are some of my personal favorites:
One of the exciting new features in CloudForms 4.6 within Automate is Embedded Methods. That is, one can store reusable, directly callable, ruby code within Automate and access from other Automate Methods.
Some time ago I walked through installing the Cloud management solution known as CloudForms in a container. While this was fun, it was not really feasible and quickly ran into limitations in use.
In CloudForms 4.6 deploying CloudForms on top of OpenShift is fully supported and we will post more information about this soon.
The real solution is pulling this example into the Red Hat Demo Central collection and put it on a Cloud solution based on open technologies. This gives you the chance to go from your laptop, to Cloud installation and onwards to a Cloud Operations solution in just minutes.
Let’s take a look at how this works, shall we?
