Deployment Settings

Deployment Settings are additional settings and instructions provided to Cloudify manager on how to handle a deployment created out of this blueprint.

Declaration

Default Schedules setting

This deployment setting allows you to define a list of deployment schedules to be created for any deployment which is based on this blueprint.

deployment_settings:
  default_schedules:
    sc-1:
      workflow: ...
      since: ...
      timezone: ...
      recurrence: ...
      count: ...
    sc-2:
      ...

Default Schedules schema

Keyname Required Type Description
workflow yes string The name of the workflow the schedule should execute, e.g. install.
execution_arguments no dict Schema of arguments to be passed directly to the workflow execution (detailed below).
workflow_parameters no dict Schema of additional parameters to be passed to the workflow execution as kwargs.
since yes string A string representing the earliest possible time for the execution to run. Supported formats: YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM, HH:MM, or a relative time expression such as +2 weeks or +1day+10min.
until no string A string representing the latest possible time for the execution to run. Supported formats: YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM, HH:MM, or a relative time expression such as +2 weeks or +1day+10min.
recurrence no string Recurrence on the scheduled execution. e.g. 2 weeks, 30 min or 1d. Mandatory if count is other than 1.
timezone no string The timezone to be used for scheduling, e.g. EST or Asia/Jerusalem. By default, the local timezone will be used. Supports any timezone in the TZ database wikipedia
weekdays no list A list of weekdays on which to run the execution, e.g. su,mo,tu. If left empty, runs on all weekdays.
count no number Maximum number of times to run the execution. If left empty, there’s no limit on repetition.
default_enabled no boolean If set to false, the created schedule will not run executions until manually enabled by the user. If not provided, defaults to true.
stop_after_fail no boolean If set to true, once the execution has failed, the scheduler won’t make further attempts to run it. If not provided, defaults to false.
slip no number Maximum time window after the target time has passed, in which the scheduled execution can run (in minutes). If not provided, defaults to 0.

Valid relative time expressions are of the form +<integer> minutes|hours|days|weeks|months|years or a concatenation of several such, e.g. +1 year +3 months. These can be also written without a space after the number, without the final s, or using the short forms min|h|d|w|mo|y.

Valid recurrence expressions are of the form <integer> minutes|hours|days|weeks|months|years. These can be also written without a space after the number, without the final s, or using the short forms min|h|d|w|mo|y.

Valid weekdays expressions are any of su|mo|tu|we|th|fr|sa, or a comma-separated list of them. These may be optionally prefixed by 1 to 4 or l- (for “last”) signifying a “complex weekday”, e.g. 2mo for “the 2nd Monday of a month” or l-fr for “the last Friday of a month”. Complex weekdays can only be used in tandem with a months or years recurrence.

Default Schedules execution_arguments schema

Keyname Required Type Description
force no boolean Specifies whether to force the workflow execution in case there is already a running execution.
dry_run no boolean If set to true, no actual actions will be performed.
wait_after_fail no number When a task fails, wait this many seconds for already-running tasks to return. If not provided, defaults to 600.
allow_custom_parameters no boolean Specifies whether to allow custom parameters, which are not present in the parameters schema of the workflow.

Example

deployment_settings:
  default_schedules:
    a:
      workflow: install
      since: '2023-1-1 18:00'
      timezone: 'EST'
      count: 1
    b:
      workflow: uninstall
      since: '+4h'
      until: '2022-1-1 15:00'
      recurrence: 1w
      weekdays: [tu, we]
      count: 5
    c:
      workflow: uninstall
      since: '2022-1-1 15:00'
      until: '+1d'
      timezone: 'Israel'
      recurrence: 1mo
      weekdays: [l-fr]
      count: 10

Behavior on deployment update

When updating a deployment using a blueprint with default schedules, the following will occur:

Example

The original blueprint, used during deployment creation:

deployment_settings:
  default_schedules:
    a:
      ...
    b:
      ...
    c:
      workflow: uninstall
      ...

The new blueprint, used during deployment update:

deployment_settings:
  default_schedules:
    c:
      workflow: install
      ...
    d:
      ...

Following the deployment update:
