Managing Your Deployment

To manage your deployment after initial deployment, you use the Cloud Assembly Deployment APIs.

This use case includes examples of procedures you can follow to reconfigure your deployment after initial cloud template deployment. The first example deploys a new cloud template with a deployment ID, and in subsequent examples, you use the deployment ID to update the deployment or reconfigure the cloud template components.

Prerequisites for Managing Your Deployment

All tasks for managing your deployment share the following common prerequisites:

• Verify that you are at least an organization member in VMware vRealize Automation with a Cloud Assembly administrator service role.
• Verify that you have an active access token. See Getting Your Authentication Token.
• Verify that the URL variable is assigned.

  url='https://appliance.domain.com'

• Verify that API version variables are assigned as in the following examples.

  api_version='2020-08-25'

  If you choose not to assign a value to the apiVersion or to assign it to a different value, review the information in API versioning.

• Verify that you have the ID for a project that is associated with the deployment that you are managing. See Request Deployment.
• Verify that the flavor mapping and image mapping specified in the cloud template to be deployed exist in your cloud account. See Create Flavor Mappings and Create Image Mappings.
• Verify that the cloud zone that you are deploying into is associated with your project. See Add a Cloud Zone to Your Project.
• Verify that a network profile is configured for the cloud account associated with the project. See Create Network Profiles.

Any additional prerequisites are specified with the individual tasks.
