Introduction to the Provisioning Service

Talend Provisioning Service allows you to distribute resources and features in several containers via profiles.

With the Provisioning Service, you can distribute configuration files, activate several services in several containers by applying profiles to them.

In Provisioning Service, two different profiles are available:

• System profile: a collection of configuration artifacts required by the system, for example, to configure the ESB services in the different Talend Runtime Containers.

• Application profile: a collection of configuration artifacts required by an application.

Each profile is made of:

• resources, that correspond to a list of destination paths. For each path corresponds a list of resource files.

• features, that correspond to a list of features, with the following information: feature name, feature URL and Maven feature version.

• placeholders, that correspond to a list of variables, defined via the syntax #{<placeholder>} that, combined with resources, can help you dynamically configure your systems or applications.
