The Solutions page is the entry point for orchestration.
Solutions provide an easy way to access and run scripts created by admins, combined with predefined devices and permissions.

πŸ“Œ Overview

The Solutions page displays all created solutions in a table view, making it easy to:
  • Organize scripts and services into accessible solutions
  • Control which device groups the solution runs against
  • Manage user permissions for execution
  • Quickly perform actions such as execution, tagging, and deletion

πŸ“‹ Solutions Table

Each created solution appears in a structured table with the following columns:
ColumnDescription
SolutionName of the solution
Service DescriptionExplanation of the underlying script or service
PlatformPlatform or environment the solution targets
ActionsActions available for that solution, such as:
β€’ Execute Form
β€’ Set Permissions
β€’ Add Tags
β€’ Delete Solution

πŸ›  Creating a Solution

Solutions can be created from either the Script Runner or the Ansible Service.

➀ From Script Runner

  1. Click Create.
  2. Open Script Runner tab.
  3. Select a script from the available scripts.
  4. Choose device groups from the available list.
  5. Select the Device State (Any, Active, Standby).
  6. Add a Name for the solution.
  7. Assign users to grant execution permissions.
  8. Save the solution β€” it will now appear in the Solutions table.

➀ From Ansible Service

  1. Click Create.
  2. Open Ansible Service tab.
  3. Select a service from the available services.
  4. Choose a device group.
  5. Add a Name for the solution.
  6. Assign permissions for user access.
  7. Save the solution.

πŸš€ Execute Solution

The execute icon allows the user to run the solution directly through the solution’s page. Users with adequate permissions to access the solution will be able to complete the required form and execute the solution. Authorized users can edit permissions to determine which Cloud.Red users may access the solution.

Why Use Solutions?

  • Centralized Access: One place to run approved scripts and services
  • Predefined Targets: Runs against preselected device groups
  • Permission Control: Restrict execution to only authorized users without providing direct access to the devices.
  • Streamlined Execution: No need to reconfigure script or service settings each time
