Cloud Automation Services (CAS) continues to drive new feature and capabilities that improve, simplify, and enhance the user experience.  As you all know, CAS consists of 3 services, Cloud Assembly, Service Broker, and Code Stream.  Let’s touch on a couple of new enhancement capabilities – Blueprint Publishing and Blueprint Sharing.

 

Blueprint Sharing

 

During the creation of a new blueprint in Cloud Assembly, you now have the option to create a private blueprint that is restricted to the selected project, or one that will be shared across ALL the projects in the CAS Organization.

 

Cloud Assembly – Restrict or share with project(s)

 

Blueprint Publishing

 

To Publish blueprints to Service Catalog  you must version the blueprint, and then release it to Service Broker.  Previously, this was a 2-step process.

 

Blueprint – Create a new blueprint version

 

When versioning a blueprint – now you can choose to “Release this version to the catalog”, which will automatically push it into the Service Broker catalog.

 

Cloud Assembly – Blueprint Versioning

 

Small enhancements that improve the consumer experience.  Enjoy!
