You can design blueprints that create OpenStack projects when consumed.

Prerequisites

  • Verify that you have service architect user privileges to access the plug-in.

  • Verify that the OpenStack Keystone service is connected to an Active Directory server for automatic synchronization. This configuration automatically synchronizes user accounts in Keystone

Procedure

  1. Log in to the vRealize Automation tenant as a service architect.
  2. Select Design > XaaS > XaaS Blueprints.
  3. Click New.
  4. Select the workflow Orchestrator > Library > VMware Integrated OpenStack > Deploy an OpenStack project or Delete an OpenStack project, and click Next.

    The blueprint form appears.

  5. Complete the text boxes in the blueprint form.

    Keystone URL, Project name, Keystone domain name, User name, and Password parameters are mandatory for all blueprints. For the delete blueprint you only need the Project name parameter and the mandatory ones.
