HyperCloud™ Platform provides the ability to create and execute script on the VMs once provisioned successfully. These scripts are call plugins & HyperCloud™ Platform support the following interpreters
- Bash
- Python
- Perl
- Ruby
- PowerShell
- Puppet
To run plugins, HyperCloud™ agent must be installed on the VM provisioned via Blueprint or Free-Form Wizard. HyperCloud™ plugin can be included in a blueprint which get executed automatically once the VM is successfully provisioned. With the use of blueprints and plugins, Virtual Machine templates can be preserved in form of YAML and reduce the need of creating custom images.
Note: Plugins are only available for VMs and are not applicable to other types of blueprints
Creating & Managing Plugins /Scripts
A HyperCloud plugin is a mechanism to run a simple script that can run on VM being provisioned. Plugins can be used for any number of installation and configuration on existing VMs
