11 months ago @christophe-f @sonyccd wdyt? Would such plugin make sense to a Backstage user?
I'm thinking that a screen allowing you quickly standup RHEL in the cloud of your choice would be useful.
Additionally, we can also think about making this a resource provider for the catalog, so we can offer these instance-type options as a dropdown in GPTs, wdyt?

11 months ago Yes this should be a GPT as that where users can create anything. A user would be able to select an image and start the process. After it can be registered as a resource in the catalog. For this specific type of resource, we could have a plugin to show specific information like quota, usage, etc

11 months ago May I ask, what is a GPT? :)

11 months ago @miyunari GPTs (Golden Path Templates), also known as Software Templates. You can learn more about them here:
https://backstage.io/docs/features/software-templates/
It's basically a self-service workflow that allows people to accomplish many tasks, from bootstraping a new git repo for Python application (or any other application), to requesting a namespace on a specific kubernetes cluster and deploying to that through ArgoCD... Basically any self-service task you can imagine a developer goes through can be automated via this.
We have some sample templates available here: https://showcase.janus-idp.io/create?filters%5Bkind%5D=template&filters%5Buser%5D=all
Their definitions: https://github.com/janus-idp/software-templates

11 months ago Ah nice - thanks! :smile: I will look into it :+1:
🔖 Summary
The Cloud-Image-Directory lists, processes and filters (currently only RHEL) images from different cloud providers, to make it easier to find the right image.
I think the plugin would be in the same direction as the Quay plugin and OpenShift Image Registry plugin.
The screens would be similar to https://staging.imagedirectory.cloud/.
