Submit the VM image for approval

This page describes how to submit the virtual machine (VM) image for approval in the Producer Portal.

Submit the VM image

  1. Add a new product on the Producer Portal.
  2. Select Virtual Machine as the product type and provide a unique name for the product. Follow these guidelines for the product name and product overview:
    • The product name must match the application or soure for which you build the connector. For example, if you build a connector for Salesforce, use Salesforce in the product name.
    • Don't use reserved keywords such as "plugin" in the product name.
    • The product overview must mention that this product is for Integration Connectors or Application Integration.
  3. Specify the product details. For guidelines about how to enter the product details, see Add product details.
  4. Create the deployment package.
  5. Select a pricing model.
  6. Submit your product to Cloud Marketplace.

Create the deployment package

  1. Select the VM image created earlier in the Deployment Image Source section. This image must be the same as the image mentioned in the autogen configuration.
  2. For the deployment package, select Manual configuration for more complex products. You can't use guided configuration as this product requires a startup script.
  3. In the Type section, select Custom (UI deployment).
  4. In the Image Variable field, enter source_image.
  5. To upload the deployment package, do the following:
    1. Create a Cloud Storage bucket.
    2. To zip the terraform module, run the following command: 
      cd solution_folder
  zip .zip ./*

      Ensure that only the files are zipped and not the parent folder.

    3. To upload the zip file to the Cloud Storage bucket, run the following command: 
      gcloud storage cp MODULE_NAME.zip gs://BUCKET_NAME
    4. In the Producer Portal, in the Specify your GCS object location field, browse and select the uploaded object.
    5. In the Required roles section, select the role for the Compute Admin role (roles/compute.admin).
    6. To validate the deployment module, click Validate.
    7. To view the UI and deploy the VM product for testing, click Deployment preview. This page will be the same as what the consumers will see while setting up the connector VM.
