Create Blueprint Commands

You can add, to your blueprint, commands that perform different orchestration tasks through the use of Python scripts containing these commands. This configuration is done in the blueprint's Properties page. However, before configuring blueprint commands, the blueprint scripts must be added to CloudShell Portal. For additional information, see Configure Blueprint Orchestration.

Adding Scripts​

Scripts give you the flexibility to customize a blueprint and make extra features available, for example, adding specialized commands that can be run in a sandbox. You can add commands through Python scripts and upload them to CloudShell Portal to be used when configuring blueprint orchestration, including PY, PYC, and ZIP files containing several Python files.

Use the steps in the following procedure to add blueprint and resource scripts to the CloudShell Portal.

Notes
  • The script is added to the domain you are currently in. To expose the script to all domains, add the script in the Global domain
  • By default, new scripts are added into CloudShell as Python 3 scripts. Therefore, if you're adding a Python 2 script, make sure to change the script's Type, as explained in Editing scripts.

To add blueprint and resource scripts:

  1. In the Manage dashboard, from the left sidebar, select Assets > Blueprint or Assets > Resource to open the respective script catalog.

    note

    Repository assets only apply to resource-level components.

  2. In the toolbar, click + Add Python Script to add a Python script or + Add Repository Asset to add a Configuration Management script/playbook.

    A dialog box is displayed, prompting you to select a script to upload.

  3. Browse and select a script file to upload to CloudShell, and click Open.

    The Uploading Completed message is displayed at the top of the script catalog, indicating the upload status. When completed, the Edit button is displayed on the right. For more information, see Editing scripts.
