Introduction

This section provides an overview of the Cloud Service Automation content and Codar content made available to all CSA/Codar customers associated with our latest release.

Each content is delivered as capsules and can be deployed during the product installation or by visiting the ITOM Marketplace web site. Each capsules contains a set of service offerings, designs and provider that allows CSA administrator to build and deploy rich cloud services.

Content Capsules

Capsules are the new delivery format to create and share CSA product content. Capsules are now offered during the product installation or can be simply downloaded from the ITOM Marketplace web site (https://marketplace.saas.hpe.com). Each capsule contains CSA and Operations Orchestration (OO) artifacts along with documentation that explains their compatibility against the CSA platform as well as their direct provider/ environment.

Capsules are released often to address the need to support new technologies and content fixes. New Capsules are published on the ITOM Marketplace independent of the CSA and OO releases, so we recommend that you visit this site and subscribe to associated forum to be informed of any capsule changes.

CSA Out of the Box content obtained during product installation, upgrade, or directly from ITOM Marketplace will come with their own release notes and compatibility matrix.

For a complete set of supported content:

  1. Go to ITOM Marketplace.

  2. Select the HPE product with the content you require - for example, CSA.

  3. Click the Content tab.

Cloud Service Automation Content Catalog is available on ITOM MarketPlace

Note Download the CSA Content SDK to build your own capsules from https://marketplace.saas.hpe.com/itom/content/hpe-csa-content-sdk. The SDK contains a set of tools and best practices to build portable content known as Capsule. We encourage the overall CSA ecosystem to publish new capsules on ITOM MarketPlace as community content.
