Compute Nest:Configure parameter mappings

Directly add parameter mappings

Procedure

1. Log on to the Compute Nest console.

2. In the left-side navigation pane, click My Services. On the Created Services tab of the My Services page, click Create Service.

3. On the Create New Service page, set the service information.

   This section describes only the parameters that require special configuration for parameter mapping. For more information about other parameters, see Create a fully managed service.

   1. In the Template Content box, enter the template content. For more information about the template content, see Sample template.

   2. Click Add Parameter Mapping. In the Add Parameter Mapping dialog box that appears, select Add and configure the parameters.

      1. In the Configure Mapping and Configure a mapping for a sub-dependency item sections, Select a dependency parameter and Select a corresponding parameter.

      2. Click Add Parameter Mapping, and set the values for the Dependency Parameter and Parameter.

         For the dependency parameter Region, select China (Hangzhou). For the corresponding parameter VpcId, select an existing VPC.

      3. Click Add Sub-dependency Parameter, and select the values for the Sub-dependency Parameter and Corresponding Parameter.

         For the sub-dependency parameter ZoneId, select China (Hangzhou) Zone K. For the corresponding parameter vSwitchId, select an existing vSwitch. Repeat this step to add China (Hangzhou) Zone J and a vSwitch for that zone.

      4. Click OK.

4. Click Save Service.

Use a stack group to add parameter mappings

Procedure

1. Log on to the Compute Nest console.

2. In the navigation pane on the left, click My Services. On the Created Services tab of the My Services page, click Understand and Create Now.

3. On the Create Service page, set the service information.

   This section describes only the parameters that require special configuration for adding parameter mappings using a stack group. For more information about other parameters, see Create a fully managed service.

   Click Add Parameter Mapping. In the Add Parameter Mapping dialog box that appears, configure the parameters.

   1. Select the Add by Using Stack Groups tab and add a stack group.

      • If you have an existing stack group, you can select its region and ID in the stack group section.

      • If you have not created a stack group, you must first create one and then select it. For more information, see Create a stack group.

      • To simplify the process, Compute Nest provides two best-practice templates for creating stack groups. These templates create resources such as VPCs, vSwitches, and security groups in each zone of each region. Click the name of a template to go to the stack group creation page. Then, follow the on-screen instructions to enter the parameters and create the stack group.

        • When you use the Create a VPC, vSwitch, and security group in a region and specify the number of zones template to create a stack, you must specify the number of zones. The number of zones cannot be greater than the actual number of zones in the region.

        • When you use the Create VPCs, vSwitches, and security groups in all zones of a region template to create a stack, the resources are created in all zones of the region by default.

   2. Click OK.

      Compute Nest automatically generates the parameter mappings. This process may take a few seconds.

4. Click Create Service. In the confirmation dialog box that appears, click OK.

After service instance deployment

After the service instance is successfully deployed, the VPC and vSwitch parameters are also not visible to the user.
