Deploying Predeļ¬ned Library
Components 18
Application Services library includes predefined sample services, logical templates, application
components, and tasks.
A sample application consists of either a Windows or Linux-based logical template, services, and
application components configured specifically for that application. You must configure only the action
scripts of the services in a predefined application and deploy it to the supported cloud environment. When
you create a deployment profile to deploy a sample application, you can add a compatible customized
task to the execution plan.
Important Use the predefined sample templates, application components, services, and tasks only in a
test environment. If you plan to use the sample templates in a production environment, make sure that
you apply the latest security patches to the operating system in the template before deployment.
All user accounts that are assigned to the Application Services Default group can access and deploy the
sample applications.
All of the icons rendered for the sample templates and services in the library are based on the name of
the template or service. For example, the official MySQL icon appears next to the MySQL service in the
library. If the name of the service or template is unique, then a generic icon appears.
Familiarize yourself with the key concepts that appear frequently in topics about deploying sample library
components. See Key Concepts.
