Blueprint generation templates¶

This part of documentation contains the templates for generating TOSCA documents, which work with DICE Deployment Service. In this context, the word “template” means a string of text with interchangeable variables.

The TOSCA blueprint is composed of several parts (version definition, imports, node templates, outputs, etc.), the contents of which depend on the platform used and the technologies appearing in the blueprint. Conversely, this document presents relevant parts of the templates.

In each section, there are the mandatory contents, which all have to be in place for the blueprint to work. Optional parts depend on the users’ preferences.

Common parts¶

Each blueprint needs to have a header section where language version is specified and proper DICE TOSCA library plugin description is imported.

tosca_definitions_version: cloudify_dsl_1_3

imports:
  - http://dice-project.github.io/DICE-Deployment-Cloudify/spec/${PLATFORM}/${LIBRARY_VERSION}/plugin.yaml

Template variables

PLATFORM

Specifies the platform to deploy the application to. Currently supported platforms are fco and openstack.

LIBRARY_VERSION
