Platform Management Pack
A platform is added to the system by creating a Platform Management Pack (Pack) file and loading it into the
CMS. A Pack is a Ruby DSL file that models a platform. It exists in the packer directory structure.
The file contains:
- Component Resources: Named resources with the type (cookbook attribute) and the Component Class name
- Relationships/dependencies with flexing/scaling attributes
- Metrics/Thresholds (optional)
A Pack can extend another Pack, which keeps the model clean and manageable. Packs are versioned to match a set of recipes.
For instructions on how to add a new platform, refer to Add a Platform.
