GitLab

Accelario Virtualization can be integrated natively into GitLab workflow

It is done by adding a section to .gitlab-ci.yml file of any GitLab repository. Inside the section, a script makes API calls to the Accelario Virtualization engine to perform any needed operation.

The configuration to create a VDB as part of GitLab workflow - should be added to .gitlab-ci.yml

This script relies on pre-defined variables. The variables should be defined in the repository’s settings, under Settings > CI/CD > Variables, as described here

Variables:

VIRTUALIZATION_IP - the IP/hostname of an Accelario Virtualization central server
SNAPSHOT_ID - snapshot id to create VDB from
TGT_HOME_ID - target home id to start the VDB in
VIRTUALIZATION_LOGIN - username to Accelario Virtualization
VIRTUALIZATION_PASSWORD - password to Accelario Virtualization
