Telstra Programmable Networks RightScale Self Service Plugin

Overview

This repo enables Telstra Programmable Network resources to be provisioned and managed via RightScale. It contains:

• Self Service Plugin which provides the integration.
• An example CAT which shows how a Topology can be provisioned.
• A test CAT for exercising each function within the Plugin.

Dependencies

1. RightScale's sys_log utility CAT.

Installation

1. Install dependencies.
2. Upload tpn_plugin.rb, tpn_example.cat.rb and tpn_unattached_vnf_endpoints.rb to Self-Service.
3. (Optional) Publish tpn_example.cat.rb to the Catalog.
4. Create the following Credentials in Cloud Management:

• store the username in TPN_USERNAME
• store the password in TPN_PASSWORD
• store the domain id in TPN_DOMAIN_ID
• used by the CATs to store the access token after login occurs in TPN_ACCESS_TOKEN

Usage

1. Launch the TPN Topology CloudApp from the Self Service Designer or Catalog.
2. Provide a name for the cloud app and click Launch.
3. A Topology will be provisioned in TPN with the same name as provided. The Topology's UUID and Status will be displayed as outputs.
4. Click Terminte to deprovision the Topology

Modifying the Email template

The email template email-template.html can be directly viewed in a browser and modified as required. escape-html.sh should the be run to output a correctly escaped version. Each section of the template can then be copy and pasted into tpn_unattached_vnf_endpoints.rb.

Limitations

1. Currently only Topologies (List, Read, Delete, Read Objects) and Endpoints (List, Read) are supported.
2. If the CAT takes longer the ~1h 40mins the access token will expire and script will fail
3. Authentication is performed by the CAT rather than the SS Plugin
