Deploying new applications from pre-built templates helps you achieve the
following:
Visualize the design as infrastructure code.
Quickly access templates for your deployments.
Comply with organizational best practices.
Gain visibility into application components, health, and operational status.
This guide shows you how to deploy applications using a standardized,
security-approved template. This option is ideal for new infrastructure
scenarios where no services or workloads for the application exist yet.
Before you begin
You must complete the following steps before using templates to create
applications:
For administrators:
Set up application management.
Configure an app-enabled folder or a host project to act as the
administrative boundary for your applications.
Enable required APIs. Enable APIs for all
resources you intend to use.
Set up Application Design Center.
You must configure Application Design Center to let users deploy new
application resources from templates.
Open your app-enabled folder or host project, depending on your
setup model.
Configure and deploy the application
Application Design Center lets you
create a template, configure its parameters, and deploy the application
infrastructure based on it. Follow these steps to create and access a template
from a catalog and deploy the application:
In the Google Cloud console, navigate to the Templates page from
Application Design Center to see the list of available application
templates:
The deployment process in Application Design Center automatically registers the
application in App Hub, where you can view application details,
including its constituent services and workloads.
