h1. Introduction

Petals ESB Deployer is a tool to manage the deployment of a whole Petals ESB bus.

Deploying a whole Petals ESB bus includes to deploy Petals ESB containers, Petals ESB Hazelcast Registry, and service consumers or providers running on their binding components or service-engines correctly configured. The architecture of the Petals ESB bus and service providers/consumers to deploy are defined into a model.

Petals ESB Deployer is embedded into Petals ESB CLI through different commands:
* the command {{deploy}} is extended to deploy a whole Petals ESB bus, and to migrate an existing deployment to a new version,
* the command {{undeploy}} is extended to undeploy a whole Petals ESB bus,
* the dedicated command {{check-deployment}} will check an existing Petals ESB bus against a given model describing the expected Petals ESB bus.

{warning}
Petals ESB Deployer *1.0.0* is provided with [Petals ESB CLI *3.2.0*|petalsclisnapshot:Petals ESB CLI 3.2.0-SNAPSHOT].

h1. Use cases

The goal of Petals ESB Deployer is to resolve several deployment problematics:
* how to simplify the deployment of a Petals ESB bus avoiding to use scripts for automating deployment ?
* how to upgrade an existing deployment of a Petals ESB bus to a new version of this Petals ESB bus,
* how to deploy a set of service providers and consumers on different environments, for example DEV, TEST or PROD where the Petals ESB bus topology and external resources are different ?
* how to deploy a Petals ESB bus on different environments, for example STAGING, PRE-PROD, PROD where the Petals ESB bus topology is the same but where machines running Petals ESB bus and external resources are differents ?

h1. Modeling your deployments

h2. Model overview

Petals ESB Deployer is based on a model defining your Petals ESB bus to deploy. This model contains all components and their configurations forming your Petals ESB bus.

The model of your Petals ESB bus is composed of several parts:
* a *Service-units Object Model*: that list all service-units that must be deployed into your Petals ESB bus,
* a *Topology Object Model*: that defines the topology of your Petals ESB bus,
* a *Bus Object Model* that defines:
** where are running the service-units, on which Petals ESB container of your topology,
** where are running your Petals ESB containers, on which machine,
** where are running your Petals ESB Hazelcast Registry nodes, on which machines,
** which external resources are to be used.

{anchor:serviceUnitsObjectModel}
h2. Service-units Object Model

This model defines the set of service units to deploy on your Petals ESB bus. This model will be mainly written by development teams because they have the knowledge of service units to deploy.

!serviceUnitsObjectModel.png!

This model is composed of following elements:
* {{service-units}}, the list of service units that must be deployed,
* {{service-unit}}, one service unit to deploy:
** {{id}}, the identifier of this service-unit in the model. Can be different from the service unit name,
** {{url}}, the URL of the associated archive that can be a service assembly or a deployable service unit.
** {{placeholders}}, the set of placeholders that the service unit requires for its execution,
* {{placeholder}}, a placeholder required by a service-unit:
** {{key}}, the place holder name as used in the service-unit. A value is associated to this placeholder in the [bus object model|#busObjectModel].

{anchor:topologyObjectModel}
h2. Topology Object Model

This model defines the topology of your Petals ESB bus. This model will be mainly written by the Petals ESB bus architect.

!topologyObjectModel.png!

This model is composed of following elements:
* {{topology}}, the topology definition of your Petals ESB bus, with:
** {{containers}}, its different Petals ESB containers as a list of {{container}},
** {{registry}}, the registry used in your topology. Optional.
* {{container}}, a Petals ESB container member of your topology:
** {{id}}, identifier of the Petals ESB container as used as name in the file {{topology.xml}},
* {{standalone-registry}}, the registry is implemented by Petals ESB Standalone Registry, default implementation for a standalone topology. Can not be used for a distributed topology,
* {{hazelcast-registry}}, the registry is implemented by Petals ESB Hazelcast Registry, default implementation for a distributed topology:
** {{members}}, the members of the Petals ESB Hazelcast Registry,
* {{hazelcast-registry-member}}, a member of the Petals ESB Hazelcast Registry:
** {{id}}, identifier of the Petals ESB Hazelcast Registry member as used as name in the file {{cluster.xml}},

h2. Bus Object Model

This model defines your Petals ESB bus. This model will be mainly written by the Petals ESB bus architect in agreement with operators.

** {{reference}}, reference to a {{placeholder}} of the [service-units object model|#serviceUnitsObjectModel],
** {{value}}, value to set to the current placeholder,
* {{hazelcast-registry-instance}} defines the registry instance of the current Petals ESB bus as a Petals ESB Hazelcast Registry instance:
** {{reference}}, the reference of the Petals ESB Hazelcast Registry in the [topology object model|#topologyObjectModel],
** {{group-name}}, name identifying the Petals ESB Hazelcast Registry instance inside the Hazelcast cluster,
** {{group-password}}, password of the Petals ESB Hazelcast Registry instance,
** {{member-instances}}, list of member instances ({{hazelcast-registry-member-instance}}) composing the current Petals ESB Hazelcast Registry instance,
