Get Deployment Resource IDs

To get IDs of the resources in your deployment, you use the Deployment APIs to make a GET request.

Verify that all general prerequisites and prerequisites for the

Automation Service Broker

Deployment service have been satisfied. See Prerequisites for API Use Case Examples.

Verify that you have the ID of the deployment you want to reconfigure. See Deploy a Cloud Template with Contents Inline.

To perform operations on the load balancer or virtual machine in your deployment, you need the IDs of those resources.

Assign your deployment ID variable.

deployment_id='<your_deployment_id>'

List the resources in your deployment.

curl -X GET \
  $url/deployment/api/deployments/$deployment_id/resources?apiVersion=$api_version \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $access_token" | jq "."

Examine the response.

Find the resource named

Provider_LoadBalancer_1

and copy the value to assign to the load balancer ID.

Find the resource named

cloud-vm

and copy the value to assign to the virtual machine ID.

Assign variables for the resources.

load_balancer_id='<your_load_balancer_id>'
virtual_machine_id='<your_virtual_machine_id>'

Assign the load balancer ID and virtual machine ID variables.

$ load_balancer_id='d5b4569d-2234-4fc4-a594-45e6b0251588'
