Get parameters dynamically from another platform

[anotherancientalien]

Hi,

I want to use your great blueprint devops plugin But in assignment, we only can use assign.json file, but I want to assign parameters dynamically from another platform's API. Is there any way to do that? any advice would be appreciated best, Jasmine

The only way to do this would be to generate the JSON parameters file after getting the relevant values from the external API.

Thanks @alex-frankel.

@PyCrafts thanks for opening up this issue. I'm going to go ahead and close now, if you believe that there is something that we can do on the extension side, please let me know.

@alex-frankel I did assignment "without" assign.json file and using parameters. @neilpeterson I believe that you can improve your plugin as I said.

Thanks @PyCrafts I am going to need to do a bit of re-ramp here and explore possibilities. If you have specific thoughts on how you would interface with this as a consumer, would love to hear your ideas.

Hi Neil,

I had a project about assigning a blueprint directly from an ITSM automatically. My workaround is like below

• ITSM Job :: Gets Blueprint parameters from ITSM
• Azure PowerShell Job :: Assigns Blueprint with output of first job
• Another job that uses Azure PowerShell Job output parameters and calls back to ITSM

I will revise the Azure PowerShell Job as api request. I will add rollback scenario

It would be great if your plugin has parameter inputs and rollback scenario.
