Aria Automation offers the possibility to check configurations with a simulation of deployments. The testing of configurations cannot be accessed via the menu, the URL can be entered directly or via the button with the same name in the project menu item.
/automation/#/service/automation-ui/provisioning-ui;ash=%2Fsimulation
After entering the URL or pressing the button the Test Configuration opens.
Test Configuration
Configurations can validate by executing simulated provisioning requests here. It uses the projects, cloud zones and profiles configurations, but no actual provisioning to the cloud account are made.
Hint: The different flavors are defined in the flavor mappings.
After selecting or entering the necessary data and pressing the simulation button, the results can be displayed in detail.
The result is also displayed in the requests of the activity.
In addition to a single machine, other constellations can also be simulated.
- Two machines with network
- Two machines with network and storage
- Two machines with network, storage and load balancer
Two machines with network
The network entry wpnet cannot be customized, a network profile with this name must first be created.
The test configuration can then be entered. Choose type existing of the network properties.
The result is also displayed in the requests of the activity.
Two machines with network and storage
This works on the same way as two machines with network, but here it is possible to specify a disk with a name and capacity.
Conclusion
This testing of configurations offers a great opportunity to identify potential sources of error in advance.
