Packages
Sharing the flow is one of the critical aspects of complex automation tasks. Imagine you created a deployment flow for one of your services. But now you need to deploy it to another environment. Of course, you can just copy and paste your flow, but any fixes or changes will be hard to sync.
Package it. Any flow can be easily packaged and imported in other flow or invoked directly via local path or even URL.
Requirements:
- File extension should be either
.tar.gzor.tgz. index.ymlfile should be located in root of the tarball or in any child directory if each parent dir has only one child.
You can reference tarball as any other flow by just providing path to it, e.g.:
fbl path/to/flow.tar.gzor inside the flow:
version: 1.0.0
pipeline:
'--':
# reference the flow stored locally
- '@': path/to/flow.tar.gz
# reference the flow stored remotely
- '@': http://storage.com/another_flow.tar.gz
Let's assume your flow is located in folder called
~/flows/sampleTo create a tarball just navigate to flow's parent directory (
flows in this example) and execute following command:# create a package named sample.tar.gz with all the files inside sample folder
tar czf sample.tar.gz sample
