Remove a Cloud Template Version from a VMware Aria Automation Service Broker Catalog

If you want to remove a cloud template version, you make a POST request. The body of the input indicates the version to remove.

If you have a versioned and released cloud template in VMware Aria Automation Service Broker, it appears in the catalog source. If you do not want that cloud template version to be available for deployment, you must remove it from the catalog.

Prerequisites

• Verify that all general prerequisites and prerequisites for the Automation Assembler Blueprint service have been satisfied. See Prerequisites for API Use Case Examples.
• Verify that you have the cloud template ID for the cloud template you want to remove. See Create and Update a Cloud Template.
• Verify that you have the cloud template version that you want to remove from the catalog. See Version and Release a Cloud Template to a VMware Aria Automation Service Broker Catalog.

Procedure

1. Assign the cloud template ID variable.

   cloud_template_id='<your_cloud_template_id>'

2. Assign the cloud template version variable.

   your_cloud_template_version is the version that you want to remove.

3. Remove a version of your cloud template from the catalog.

   curl -X POST \
     $url/blueprint/api/blueprints/$cloud_template_id/versions/$cloud_template_version/action/unrelease?apiVersion=$api_version \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer $access_token" \
     -H 'Content-Type: application/json' | jq "."
