Managing the Application
Services Library 13
With the prepopulated, extensible library of standard logical templates, sample services, task scripts,
operating systems, external services, policies, and tags, application architects can quickly create a
blueprint of a multitier enterprise application. A cloud administrator can enable predefined policy
definitions on deployment environments for a deployer to apply to the multitier application during
deployment.
Important Application Services includes many predefined logical templates, services, and external
services. An application catalog administrator can use or modify these predefined templates and services
to avoid having to create them themselves. A best practice is to create a copy of the service to preserve
the original for future reference.
The predefined services, tasks, operating systems, and tags in the library are available to all user groups
in Application Services. You must add logical templates for each group outside the Default group.
You can use the Application Services library to create custom tasks, which are customized scripts that
you can add to the execution plan in a deployment profile.
Familiarize yourself with the key concepts relating to managing the library. See Key Concepts.
This chapter includes the following topics:
n
Add Operating Systems to the Library
n
Add Tags to the Library
n
Add a Service to the Library
n
Import a Puppet Service to the Library
n
Add an External Service to the Library
n
Add a Logical Template to the Library
n

n
Add a Custom Task to the Library
Add Operating Systems to the Library
You might have to add operating systems to the list of preinstalled operating systems that Application
Services includes.
