Using Application Services LibraryServices

The Application Services library provides a list of pre-populated standard logical templates, predefinedapplications and services, and customizable scripts for users to create and deploy an applicationblueprint.

The Application Services library lets you specify definitions for installable custom services on logicaltemplates using install, configure, start, update, rollback, and tear down scripts. An application catalogadministrator can add a service using logical templates or scripts to support custom applicationinfrastructure and operating systems required by IT.

Intended AudienceThis information is intended for anyone who wants to better understand the sample infrastructure andsoftware services, supported operating systems, and supported application components available inApplication Services. This audience includes application architects and application catalog administratorswho work in collaboration with application infrastructure administrators and cloud administrators.

VMware, Inc. 4

Sample Library Services 1Application Services includes predefined components, such as services, in its library that are reusablecomponents in several applications. These services are available to all business groups in ApplicationServices.

Library ServicesOn the Application Services title bar, you can click the drop-down menu and select Library > Services toview the available sample services. The Library menu also includes standard logical templates, tasks,operating systems, tags, policies and external services.

An application architect can create an application blueprint and add the sample services to the applicablenodes and configure them. The sample services can also be configured when deploying a predefinedapplication.

In the application blueprint, these sample services are grouped into Application Servers, DatabaseServers, Web Servers, Windows Services, Monitoring, Puppet Services, and Other.

The property values for all of the services are case-sensitive. A new property value does not take effect ifthe value is typed incorrectly.

Note Use the predefined sample library services only in a test environment.

The following concepts appear frequently in topics relating to library services.

application Logical deployment unit, which defines the relationship between operatingsystem templates, application components and their dependent servicesthat can be distributed across multiple virtual machines.

actions Life cycle stages for the install, configure, start, update, rollback, andteardown scripts for services and application components to be installed.

applicationcomponents

Custom code used as a template for components such as EAR files, WARfiles, and so on. They are custom script packages for the install, configure,start, update, rollback, and teardown actions on a node or service.

node Virtual machine defined in the blueprint.

clustered node Cluster of virtual machines defined in the blueprint.

VMware, Inc. 5

application blueprint Logical topology of an application for deployment. A blueprint captures thestructure of an application with logical nodes, their corresponding servicesand operating systems, dependencies, default configurations, and networkand storage topology requirements.

library Library that contains logical templates, which are pointers to cloudtemplates. Reusable services that can be used in multiple applications andinstalled on a virtual machine. Tasks that can perform additional customizedtasks in an application deployment.

logical template A predefined virtual machine definition in Application Services. A logicaltemplate can be mapped to an actual cloud template in the cloud libraryand supported services. Logical templates allow an application blueprint toremain cloud agnostic.

service Scripted software that can be installed on a virtual machine and reused inmultiple applications.

properties Configuration name-value pairs for services and application components.These are variables used by the scripts to set parameters on a script andrun various configurations. For example, you can set the installation_pathproperty value and configure installation scripts to use this property tospecify the path to use to install a service during the application deploymentprocess.

operating system Specifies an operating system that the IT organization for logical templatesand services supports. A list of operating systems appears in theOperating systems menu, and you can add to the list.

tag Organizes the lists of logical templates and services to enhance readabilityin the blueprint editor. A list of tags appears in the Tags menu, and you canadd new tags to the list.

custom tasks From the execution plan, you can add custom tasks to perform additionalcustomized tasks such as run security patches in an applicationdeployment. You can create a custom task in the library and add it to anapplication deployment. Application Services also provides predefinedtasks in the library that you can use to configure an APT repository, a YUMrepository, register a machine with a Red Hat Network, or Join Domain.

Using and Configuring SampleApplication Server Services 2The predefined applications, such as Clustered Dukes Bank, Clustered Dot Shopping Cart, Nanotrader,RadiantCMS, and jPetStore, include many of the sample application server services. You can configurethe application server services to customize them for your application.

vFabric tc Server2.7.1

Installs and configuresvFabric tc Server, the application servercomponent of vFabric Suite, andcreates an instance that ApplicationServices uses to deploy WAR files.

To deploy Web applications, you mustspecify the Web application names inthe app_name property.

The vFabric tc Server includes thefollowing properties to customizeservices in your application:n use_ajp. Set this property to Yes to

configure the vFabric tc Serverinstance with the AJP Connectorrather than the default HTTPConnector. If you use the vFabricWeb Server as a load balancer, thetwo services communicate usingthe AJP protocol.

n java_home. Specifies the requireddirectory where the JRE isinstalled. By default,ApplicationServices installs the JRE inthe /opt/vmware-jre directory.You can also set this property touse a custom JRE installation.

n instance_name. Specifies theinternal name of the tc Runtimeinstance. The default name value isinstance1. You can also use thisproperty to create a custom name.

n instance_root_dir. Specifies thedirectory where vFabric tc Server isinstalled. The default directoryvalue is /opt/vmware/vfabric-tc-server-standard. Thisproperty allows you to specify adifferent directory.
