Lab: Installing Application using Cloudify Manager

In this lab, we will install a sample application on Cloudify Manager.

We will install the Cloudify "Hello World" application, available on your CLI VM under ~/hello-world.

Step 1: Switch CLI to use your manager

Make sure that your CLI's active profile points at a Cloudify Manager:

cfy profiles list

Otherwise, use the cfy profiles use command to switch to a Cloudify Manager profile.

Step 2: Upload the blueprint

cfy blueprints upload ~/hello-world/no-monitoring-singlehost-blueprint.yaml -b helloworld

Step 3: Create an inputs file

The hello-world blueprint requires a few inputs. For convenience, prepare a YAML file with values for those inputs:

vi ~/hw-inputs.yaml

Provide the following contents:

server_ip: <your-app-vm-ip-address>
agent_user: centos
agent_private_key_path: /etc/cloudify/cfy-training.pem

Step 4: Create a deployment

cfy deployments create hw1 -b helloworld -i ~/hw-inputs.yaml

Step 5: Install the topology

cfy executions start install -d hw1

Step 6: Access the application

The application can now be accessed by going to http://<app-vm-ip>:8080.

Step 7: Uninstall the application

cfy uninstall hw1

This will run the uninstall workflow, and then delete the hw1 deployment and its associated blueprint.
