Cloudaware Applications - Auto-Attachment Rules

CloudAware Applications support auto-attachment based on tags. Cloudaware will automatically attach tagged resources to the target applications.

Prerequisites

1. Ensure that resources to be attached to the application have relevant tags applied.

2. Ensure that a Cloudaware Application is created with 1 or more Application Tiers (check the Overview section).

Configure auto-attachment

To enable automatic attachment of resources to Cloudaware Applications, use a tagging strategy that aligns with the application name and tier structure.

Use case: A Cloudaware Application named AppX has a tier named Production. The CloudOps team requires that any resource tagged with Application = AppX and Environment = Production is automatically attached to the AppX application under the Production tier.

1. Log in to Cloudaware. In CMDB Navigator, go to the section CLOUDAWARE → Applications. 
   

   

2. Click AUTO-ATTACHMENT in the upper right corner.
   

   

3. In the section List of Application Tag Names, specify a tag for Cloudaware application, e.g., APPLICATION. Click +ADD.
   

   

4. In the section List of Application Tier Tag Names, specify a tag for application tier, e.g., ENVIRONMENT. Click +ADD.
   

   

5. Set as many tags as required. Click SAVE to save the auto-attachment settings. Click CONFIRM.
