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 ?

h2. Deployment samples

h3. Classic: Different topologies following project progress

In this use case sample, service providers/consumers are deployed on a topology that is different according to the project step: DEV, TEST, PRE-PROD and PROD. Service providers/consumers are the same on each environment, but their instance number can be different.

h4. 1st step: development

In the first step of a project, developers will use a standalone topology running on their computer as following. The external web-service is provided by ressource {{host-dev-ws-0}} and must be configured at service unit 'SU P#1' level:
!deployment-samples-classic-DEV.png|width=40%,align=center!

h4. 2nd step: testing

Once the development is finished, some artefacts are delivered to the team "TEST":
* the list of service-unit that must be deployed,
* the service-assemblies or deployable service units as archives to deploy.

With the Petals ESB architect, the team "TEST" defines a simplified version of the Petals ESB bus topology that will be used for testing. Finally we can have such a topology using machines:
* {{host-test-0}} and {{host-test-1}} for both Petals ESB containers,
* {{host-test-2}} for the unique Petals ESB Hazelcast Registry member,
* {{host-test-ws-0}} hosts the external web-service resource that must be configured at service unit 'SU P#1' level.

h4. 3rd step: pre-production validation

Once tests are passed, we validate deliverables on a pre-production environment for which the Petals ESB bus topology is the same than the production environment. As the pre-production environment is a mirror of the production environnment, this topology was defined by the Petals ESB architect in agreement with production operators. Service units deployed are the same than the one of the testing environment, only machines and few configuration items are different between environments PRE-PROD and PROD. Machines of the pre-production environment are:
* {{host-prep-0}}, {{host-prep-1}}, {{host-prep-2}} and , {{host-prep-3}} where are running Petals ESB containers,
* {{host-prep-4}} and {{host-prep-5}} where are running the Petals ESB Hazelcast Registry members,
* {{host-prep-ws-0}} hosts the external web-service resource that must be configured at service unit 'SU P#1' level.

h4. 4th step: production deployment
If no problem has been detected in pre-production stage, the project is deployed on the production environment with the same topology and the same service-units than the one of the pre-production environment, except machines and few parameters:
* {{host-prod-0}}, {{host-prod-1}}, {{host-prod-2}} and , {{host-prod-3}} where are running Petals ESB containers,
* {{host-prod-4}} and {{host-prod-5}} where are running the Petals ESB Hazelcast Registry members,
* {{host-prod-ws-0}} hosts the external web-service resource that must be configured at service unit 'SU P#1' level.

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:

h2. Writing your deployment model

The best practice is to write your deployment model with different files, but you are able to write your deployment model in only one file.

h3. Writing your deployment model in separated files

The best practice is to write your deployment model with different files:
* a 1st file for your service units object model, written by your development team,
* a 2nd file for your topology object model, written by the Petals ESB architect,
* and a 3rd file for your bus object model, written by the Petals ESB bus architect in agreement with operators.

h4. Writing a service units object model
