[vRA 7.3] - Clone XaaS blueprint and Change some values

[ymichalak]

Hi community,

we need to duplicate a XaaS blueprint and after we need to change some values and the name of the XaaS cloned.*

Two solutions :

1°)

- Clone XaaS with the default vRO workflow (Clone a service blueprint)

- But now it's not possible to automatize the change of some values.... Manually it's not a solution 🙂

- It's possible to change some values in XaaS Blueprint with Actions or other ?

EXAMPLE value to change :

CPU default value 4 to 6 for example.

2°)

- Other solution it's to export XaaS blueprint in a package.

- Parse and change all values in a YAML file.

- Import Package....All task will be automatized of course.

Do you have an other IDEA how clone, modify values without manual action of course ?

Without manual action? You'll have to use the API or CloudClient to export the blueprint as YAML, parse and make the changes, and import once again.

Yes without manual action...

Ok with the Cloud Client.... With API I suppose you speak of this method "Create a Package for Export Example"

It's not possible to change a value directly in XaaS blueprint with a vRO workflow for example ?

[daphnissov · Accepted solution]

It would probably be the same workflow: download, manipulate, then upload.

Ok daphnissov ...So the solution is :

- Export package

- Change YAML file

- Import the package

And now the difficulty it's to automatised this.
