When to customize

Managed services templates are designed to multi-cloud and multi-purpose environments. The correct way to use CAM Variables is to customize a template for a specific use case, for example:

Specific cloud endpoint
Specific Middleware configuration (Development/Test/Production)

A systems administrator can set in advance and hide deployment details from the deployer to achieve a specific effect during the deployment.

Hiding a Managed services Variable from the deployer

To hide a Managed services Variable from the deployer and therefore set the variable for a specific template, you must modify the following fields in CAM Variables. The default value is injected in the Terraform template at deploy time.

hidden : Set this field to true .
default : Set this value to be the default value.

Setting default value

Default values for Managed services Variables are a common use case and provide meaningful advice to the deployer on the correct value.

default : Set this value to be the default value.

Field validation

Field validation occurs through a Regular Expression described in the validation parameter.

validation : Set to the relevant Regular Expression.
