Cloud Builder Deployment Parameter Sheet

All parameters that are needed for Cloud Builder to deploy your Cloud Foundation stack are passed to the tool using the deployment

parameter sheet. It is critical that you complete the sheet fully and accurately. The configuration details that you enter into the

deployment parameter sheet should be tied to existing services and records before proceeding. For example, the DNS servers you specify

in the deployment parameter sheet must correspond to DNS servers running in your infrastructure.

NOTE:

This guide covers the process to deploy Cloud Foundation using a spreadsheet, for example, .xlsx format.

However, Cloud Builder also supports the use of a .json file for uploading deployment parameters. The latter is outside

the scope of this document.

This worksheet is incorporated into the Cloud Builder VM and specific version of Cloud Foundation that is deployed. Save the worksheet

to a safe location and edit the file modifying the information to match your deployment environment.

Note the following points before deploying Cloud Foundation using the deployment parameter sheet:

• Do not deploy Cloud Foundation using the deployment parameter sheet intended for a different version of Cloud Foundation.

• Any parameter field with a yellow background indicates that data format validation rules for that field have been specified.

• If when adding information to the parameter sheet your font turns red, you have not entered the right information.

• Do not copy and paste data between fields as different fields may have different requirements.

• Copying fields can change or delete the specified input data validation for that data.
