Extensions Framework & Orchestrate Anything #9752

harikrishna-patnala · 2024-10-01T07:43:27Z

Description

The Extensions Framework in Apache CloudStack is designed to provide a flexible and standardised mechanism for integrating external systems and custom workflows into CloudStack’s orchestration process. By defining structured hook points during key operations—such as virtual machine deployment, resource preparation, and lifecycle events—the framework allows administrators and developers to extend CloudStack’s behaviour without modifying its core codebase. This design specification outlines the architecture, payload structure, execution flow, and integration guidelines necessary to implement, register, and manage extensions effectively within the CloudStack environment.

For the initial implementation of the Extensions Framework, only Orchestrator-type extensions will be supported. These extensions enable seamless integration of external VM deployment and lifecycle management systems into CloudStack

A design document is made with more details at https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/CloudStack+Extensions+Framework+-++Orchestartor+or+External+Deployment+Integration

@DaanHoogland I see many other custom detail parameters in a few other APIs, such as vnfdetails, domaindetails, accountdetails, and a few more.

In this case, I would like to keep this as a separate parameter because these are the only details that are important if the hypervisor type is External. The other parameters are just meant to fit into CloudStack's workflow. The core purpose of this feature is to send these external details to the external provisioner.
