Automation assets deployment

IBM Automation foundation assets (Automation assets) is an instance type that lets you store, manage, and share integration assets.

Automation assets enables teams to share and reuse integration assets across instances. For example, you can import an OpenAPI specification asset within the IBM API Connect user interface.

Assets can be located in remote repositories, such as Git, so that you can take advantage of the versioning feature offered by the remote repository. Assets that are stored in a remote repository are read-only. For more information, see Using Automation assets.

Four sample custom resources are available for installation, and two of these resources include AI-enabled features. Some of these samples have configurable parameters for differences in resource usage (such as CPU, memory, and storage).

  • Deploy only one instance of Automation assets per each instance of the Platform UI.
