Workflow
Alkira Cloud Network as a Service - Modular Automations
Overview
The integration of Itential and the Alkira - Cloud Network as a Service solution enables network teams to utilize its REST API to build automations that can include common tasks for hybrid and multi-cloud deployments. This is a library of related automations that can be used as modular components in your own larger, end-to-end workflows.

Getting Started
This section is helpful for deployments as it provides you with pertinent information on prerequisites and properties.
Helpful Background Information
Workflows often include logic that varies from business to business. As a result, we often find that our Workflow Projects are more useful as modular components that can be incorporated into a larger process. In addition, they often can add value as a learning tool on how we integrate with other systems and how we do things within the Itential Automation Platform.
While these can be utilized, you may find more value in using them as a starting point to build around.
Prerequisites
Itential Workflow Projects are built and tested on particular versions of IAP. In addition, Workflow Projects are often dependent on external systems and as such, these Workflow Projects will have dependencies on these other systems. This version of Alkira - Cloud Network as a Service has been tested with:
- IAP 2023.2
External Dependencies
Name | OS Version | API Version |
---|---|---|
Alkira | v1 |
Adapters
Name | Version | Configuration Notes |
---|---|---|
adapter-alkira | ^0.1.7 |
How to Install
To install the Workflow Project:
- Verify you are running a supported version of the Itential Automation Platform (IAP) as listed above in the Supported IAP Versions section in order to install the Example Project.
- Import the Example Project in Admin Essentials.
Testing
Cypress is generally used to test all Itential Example Projects. While Cypress is an opensource tool, at Itential we have internal libraries that have been built around Cypress to allow us to test with a deployed IAP.
When certifying our Example Projects for a release of IAP we run these tests against the particular version of IAP and create a release branch in GitLab. If you do not see the Example Project available in your version of IAP please contact Itential.
While Itential tests this Example Project and its capabilities, it is often the case the customer environments offer their own unique circumstances. Therefore, it is our recommendation that you deploy this Example Project into a development/testing environment in which you can test the Example Project.
Using this Workflow Project
Workflow Projects contain 1 or more workflows. Each of these workflows have different inputs and outputs.

Inputs
The following table lists the inputs for Create AWS VPC Connector - Alkira:
Name | Type | Required | Description | Example Value |
---|---|---|---|---|
vpcId | string | yes | The id of the VPC | vpc-05cbeb1e27dbba348 |
credentialId | string | yes | An opaque identifier generated when storing AWS VPC credentials | 42eba4a1-2a48-45b4-9479-1adae140e130 |
vpcOwnerId | string | yes | The ownerId of the VPC | 462676810652 |
connectorName | string | yes | Name of connector to create | ConnectorName |
cxp | string | yes | The name of the CXP. A network is usually associated with one or more CXPs. A connector can be placed on any CXP that is associated with the network. Valid values are 'US-WEST', 'US-EAST', 'US-WEST-1', 'US-EAST-2', 'EU-WEST-1', 'EU-WEST-2', 'AP-SOUTH-1', 'EU-CENTRAL', 'AP-NORTHEAST', 'AP-SOUTHEAST', 'AP-NORTHEAST-2', 'AP-SOUTHEAST-1', 'USEAST-AZURE-2', 'USCENTRAL-AZURE-3' | US-EAST |
customerRegion | string | yes | The name of the AWS region associated with the VPC | us-east-1 |

tenantNetworkId | number | yes | The id of the tenant network | 170 |
enabled | boolean | yes | Flag to enable/disable the connector | true |
directInterVPCCommunicationEnabled | boolean | yes | Setting directInterVPCCommunicationEnabled to true enables direct communication to/from the VPC associated with this connector to other customer VPCs instead of the communication being routed via the CXP. A connector which is created with this flag set to true cannot be later switched to false and vice versa. The only option is to first delete the connector, provision and then add the connector back. When directInterVPCCommunicationEnabled is set to true, the connector may not be used with any NAT Policy, Traffic Policy, Segment Resource or Internet Application. | false |
adapterId | string | yes | Name of the adapter to use to send commands to Alkira | alkira |
