Custom Resources

Overview

Custom Resources are items that are defined inside of VCF Automation. They extend the capabilities of blueprints by giving you the ability to define your own resource that calls an Orchestrator workflow. Custom Resources are defined in the details.json file under custom-resources.

Known Issues

When we try to update a custom resource that is in use by a deployment, and if the deletion fails, now we will attempt to update the custom resource by pre-fetching its ID. Once we have the ID, we would remove it from the custom resource and re-assigned it again before the import process is initiated. This would allow us to create an updated custom resource that would be imported to VCF Automation no matter if it is used by a deployment. However, update capabilities are limited and may not allow you to update all fields.
