This step maps outputs and capabilities, of an environment created by Cloudify, into inputs of another deployment.

This step takes two inputs:

• A JSON file in the format generated by the "Build Cloudify Environment" ("outputs file"). For more information, refer to the tooltip of the "Outputs File" parameter.
• A JSON file (or string) containing the mapping.

The format of the mapping JSON is as follows:

{
    "outputs": {
    	"<output_name>": "<input_name>",
    	"<output_name>": "<input_name>",
    	...
    },
    "capabilities": {
    	"<capability_name>": "<input_name>",
    	"<capability_name>": "<input_name>",
    	...
    }
}
	

At the end, a file will be generated, containing a JSON compatible with Cloudify's standard "Deployment Inputs" structure, namely:

{
	"<input_name>": "<intput_value>",
	"<input_name>": "<intput_value>",
	...
	

For example, if the "outputs file" is as follows:

{
	"outputs": {
		"endpoint": "10.0.0.130",
		"username": "centos"
	},
	"capabilities": {
		"public_key": "/tmp/public_key"
	}
}
	

And the mapping is as follows:

{
	"outputs": {
		"username": "app_username"
	},
	"capabilities": {
		"public_key": "app_data"
	}
}
	

Then the resultant inputs file will be as follows:

{
	"app_username": "centos",
	"app_data": "/tmp/public_key"
}
