Add a Manifest

You can extend the list of integrations by adding custom manifests to your cluster profile. Use the following steps to create a cluster profile by adding layers using manifests.

Prerequisites​

  • Your Palette account role must have the clusterProfile.create permission to create a profile. Refer to the Roles and Permissions documentation for more information.

Add Manifest to Add-on Profile​

  1. Log in to Palette.

  2. From the left Main Menu click Profiles.

  3. Click on the Add Cluster Profile button.

  4. Fill out the following input values and ensure you select Add-on for the type. Click on Next to continue.

FieldDescription
NameA custom name for the cluster profile.
VersionAssign a version to the profile. You only need to specify a version if you create multiple versions of a profile using the same profile name. Default: 1.0.0.
DescriptionUse the description to provide context about the profile.
TypeAdd-on
TagsAssign any desired profile tags. Tags propagate to the Virtual Machines (VMs) deployed in the cloud or data center environment when clusters are created from this cluster profile. Example: owner or region.

To learn how to create multiple profile versions, check out Version a Cluster Profile.

  1. Select Add Manifest and provide a display name for this layer. Optionally, you can specify the layer install order.

  2. Click on New manifest and provide a name for your custom manifest. Click on the check or press Enter to open the editor.

  3. Create your manifest. Ensure you specify a namespace. Otherwise, the manifest will deploy to the Default namespace.

namespace: your_namespace_here
warning

Palette requires a namespace using the namespace parameter in the configuration file to identify the namespace on the target cluster. For more information about customizing with namespaces, refer to Profile Customization.

For examples of pack structure for a manifest-based pack, review Build a Pack, and select the appropriate tab.

  1. If you want to add more manifests, repeat steps 6 and 7. Otherwise, click Confirm & Create, then click Next to review the profile.

  2. Click Finish Configuration to create the cluster profile.

You now have an add-on cluster profile that contains one or more manifests. You can reuse the profile and apply it to several clusters. Refer to the Update Cluster Profile guide for more information about update operations.

Validate​

  1. Log in to Palette.

  2. Navigate to left Main Menu and select Profiles.

  3. Select your cluster profile to review its layers or make changes.

Next Steps​

Now you can use the add-on profile you created with other profiles.
