Working with content settings in
VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle
VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle
You can add source control server
endpoint,
vCenter
publisher, pipeline
extensibility and developer restrictions in content settings.Source control access
To add a source control
endpoint, provide a server for that source control from GitLab. For more
information, see
Add a source control server endpoint in VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle.
You can add multiple
server names for a source control server endpoint and only GitLab source
control is supported for this version.
vSphere template repository
vSphere
template repositoryYou can use
VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle
to capture content from vCenter
. The vSphere
template repository is a content
library within a designated vCenter
instance. It stores all the templates that are captured
and that can be managed by VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle
.A best practice is to have this
vCenter
instance close to
where the templates would typically be captured, that is a development vCenter
for template authoring. You can
specify a vCenter
instance to add
as your endpoint. For more information, see Add a vCenter content endpoint in VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle. The
configuration model for the content library is as follows: - Create theContent Library (Publisher): ThevSpheretemplate repository points to a content library that is configured for publishing. For information about configuring a publisher content library, see vCenter Documentation.
- Create theContent Library Subscribers: EachvCenterserver that supports templates must support a content library that subscribes to the published library that you created in the above Step 1. The following settings are required:
Setting | Description |
---|---|
Automatic Synchronization | Configure this setting for automatic synchronization of the
template metadata. |
Subscription URL | This URL contains details about the publishers lib.json
file. It is available when you create the publisher in Step 1. |
Authentication Off | Do not use this setting. You should require
authentication. |

operation.
