AppDynamics Lab Automation

This project contains code to automate some processes in Ravello. While this has been written to address some specific use cases required at AppDynamics, elements of this could be useful elsewhere.

Dependencies

These scripts are dependent on the Ravello Python API. This can be installed locally using PIP (steps below have been tested on OS X):

  1. If you do not have PIP installed, get that:

     sudo easy_install pip

  2. Then install the Ravello API:

     sudo pip install ravello-sdk

Note prior versions of this script performed user creation using Selenium, this has removed in favour of ephemeral access keys

Usage

There are two use cases supported

AppDynamics 101 Lab

Make sure RAVELLO_USERNAME and PEM_LOCATION are set in the setEnv.sh. PEM_LOCATION should point to the Bleuprint access key.

To use the script to create a Java 101 Canidate lab and associated user, you can run the script as follows:

createLab.sh -p YourRavelloPassword -f Joe -l Bloggs -e [email protected] -v ThisIsTheVMPassword1

Where the switches are as follows:

  • -p: Ravello password
  • -f: Candidate first name
  • -l: Candidate last name
  • -e: Candidate email

This will create the Ravello application and then the ephemeral access key. Final output looks as follows with the App Name, VM Password and Ephemeral Access URL:

Lab Created
Application Name: Candidate_TB_Java 101 20180123
Ravello VM password: Hello1234
Access URL: https://cloud.ravellosystems.com/#/AzqCZddlkgjwefqdqsPewBjXo2DC81GSMJkykJBhL9zv23gjeab2F
IPs:
[u'129.213.54.115']

Note this will also autoupdate these utilities from GitHub

AppDynamics AppSphere Hand On Lab

Make sure RAVELLO_USERNAME and PEM_LOCATION are set in setEnv.sh. PEM_LOCATION should point to the Bleuprint access key.

The script requires a CSV file which list out the lab attendees to create Ravello apps for. This is of the format:

FirstName,LastName,Email,OSPassword

An example is in sampleInput.csv

A execution looks like the following

createHOL.sh -p YourRavelloPassword -b 741258963 -a sampleInput.csv -o ubuntu -t timeout

Where the switches are as follows:

  • -p: Ravello password
  • -b: HOL Blueprint ID
  • -a: user CSV file
  • -o: VM OS user
  • -t: App timeout in hours

This will create a Ravello app for each user in the CSV, and set the timeout. This then presents an output like:
