Create a simple helloWorld deployment#

In this tutorial, you create a simple application with HCL™ Launch. You use standard plug-ins to create a component and define an application that deploys the component to an environment.

Learning objectives#

In this tutorial, you learn how to complete these tasks:

• Create a component and add a user-defined property to it.
• Import artifacts to create a component version.
• Create a component process.
• Create an application and application process.
• Configure an environment with resources and apply a user-defined tag to it.
• Run the application process to deploy the component.

Time required:1 hour

• Introduction
  In this tutorial, you create a simple application with HCL Launch. You use standard plug-ins to create a component and define an application that deploys the component to an environment.
• Configure the helloWorld tutorial system
  To deploy the tutorial component, or any component, you must have an agent. An agent is a lightweight process that runs on a target computer and does the actual work of deploying components.
• Lesson 1 Create the helloWorld component
  Components contain artifacts and processes. Artifacts include runnable files, images, databases, configuration instructions, and anything else that is associated with a software project. Processes define the activities that components can perform.
• Lesson 2 Create a component process
  Component processes are user-defined tasks that operate on components.
• Lesson 3 Create an application
  Applications manage components, typically by deploying them into environments.
• Lesson 4 Configure an application environment
  When you create an environment, you map resources to it that define where the parent application can run deployments.
• Lesson 5 Create an application process
  Application processes direct underlying component processes and orchestrate multi-component deployments.
• Lesson 6 Deploy the component
  To deploy the component, run the application process on an environment.
• Summary
  In this tutorial, you learned how to deploy a component with HCL Launch.
