Creating a django - Python Web framework 1.5 on RHEL 5.9 service offering

This topic describes the tasks that you must perform in BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management to create the service offering that the end user can then use to provision the application infrastructure (for example, an OS and an application package).

Note

Although services and service offerings are bundled with the zipkits, you might want to use the procedures to create a service and service offering to create or edit these artifacts.

It includes the following topics:

To create the service and the service offering

In the BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management Administrator console, you must add a service and a service offering.

For django service blueprint, create a service and service offering based on the available deployment model. The django ZipKit supports single-tier service deployment model. In the single tier deployment model, django is installed on one instance of a server.

To verify Apache Web Server	To verify Apache Web Server on provisioned machine, run the following command: httpd -v	This command displays Apache version.

Where to go next

Once you have created the service offering, the cloud end user can request a service offering from the My Cloud Services Console.
