Site configuration template helps you to create tailored site templates that cater to your deployment requirements, allowing you to efficiently deploy branches and data centers at scale with ease. This section will guide you through the process of creating a site template and showcase a streamlined approach to deploying multiple sites with ease and consistency at scale.
A site configuration template is a predefined blueprint containing a list of variables that encompass all the necessary configurations for creating fully operational sites and devices. Using this template, you can deploy multiple sites. You can use an existing template, edit an existing one or create a new template to deploy multiple sites.
The current release of site configuration templates provides day-one deployments and does not encompass support for FIPS mode and CloudBlades. However, these functionalities are planned to be included in an upcoming release.
This feature is compatible with ION device version 5.6.x and later.
The configuration components needed to deploy sites at scale are:
  • Site Template: A site template is a predefined blueprint containing a comprehensive list of variables covering all essential configurations required to establish fully operational sites and devices.
  • Site Variables: A CSV file containing variables generated from the template and their original values.
  • Site Data: A CSV template containing site configuration data linked to the respective variables used in the deployment of each site.
The workflow to create a site template is as follows:
  1. Create a Site Template
  2. Edit Variables
  3. Download the Site Variables
  4. Upload CSV Data File
