ServerTemplates

ServerTemplates allow you to pre-configure servers by starting from a base image and adding scripts that run during the boot, operational, and shutdown phases. A ServerTemplate is a description of how a new instance will be configured when it is provisioned by your cloud provider.

All revisions of a ServerTemplate belong to a ServerTemplate lineage that is exposed by the "lineage" attribute. (NOTE: This attribute is merely a string to locate all revisions of a ServerTemplate and NOT a working URL)

Actions

index

Lists the ServerTemplates available to this account. HEAD revisions have a revision of 0.

The 'inputs_2_0' view is for retrieving inputs in 2.0 serialization (for more details please see Inputs#index.)

swap_repository

In-place replacement of attached cookbooks from a given repository.

In order for the operation to be successful, all attachments that came from the source repository must exist in the target repository.

If multiple cookbooks of a given name exist in the target repository, preference is given by the following order (top most being the highest preference):

  1. Name & Version Match / Primary Namespace
  2. Name & Version Match / Alternate Namespace
  3. Name Match / Primary Namespace

If multiple cookbooks still have the same preference for the replacement, the operation is indeterministic.

Parameters

name required type values regexp blank? description
