Creating a stack

  1. After logging in to the Portal, selecting "IaaS Portal" from the "Management" tab displays the "IaaS Dashboard" as below. Here, select the region in which to create the stack.
  2. Select the project you want to create the stack in.
  3. Clicking "Template" > "Stack" displays the "Stack list" window.
  4. Clicking the "+" on the upper right displays the "Create Stack" window.
  5. Input the desired name for the stack.
  6. Selecting "YAML" from "How to Specify Template" displays the "YAML Editor" field.
  7. Copy the content of the sample Heat template (Heat_template_sample.yaml), and paste it into the "YAML Editor" field.
  8. Clicking "Parameter Settings" on the upper right displays the "Template Parameter Setting" window.

    Template Parameter Setting Window - Display Example

    The values defined in the parameters section of the sample are displayed for each parameter.

    For details of the parameters section, refer to "Parameters Section".

  9. If there are any parameters you want to change, select their checkbox and input the new value.
    CAUTION:
    • If the value of a parameter is changed without checking the checkbox, the change will not be reflected and the original value will be used.
    • In the "Sample system configuration - Example Heat template", the az (availability zone) is "jp-east-1a". Change the az based on the region you have selected. If there are any other parameters that require changing, please change them.
  10. Clicking "Apply" on the upper right displays the "Template Parameter Setting" window.
  11. Clicking "Apply" returns you to the "Create Stack" window.
  12. Clicking "Create" displays the request acceptance dialog.
    Note: If there are any mistakes in the format, etc. of the template, an error will occur here.
  13. Clicking "Close" will return you to the "Stack list" window.
  14. The status of the stack for which the creation request was accepted will be "CREATE_IN_PROGRESS".
  15. After several minutes (*1), refresh the window, and if the status of the stack becomes "CREATE_COMPLETE" (*2), creation of the resources described in the Heat template is complete.
    CAUTION:
    • *1: The time taken for creation varies depending on the state of the IaaS service and the content of the stack being created.
    • *2: If the status becomes "CREATE_FAILED", it is possible to check the error content of stack creation using an API. Refer to "Handling errors".

    This completes creation.
