A plug-in provides a point of connection for the Dell Telecom Infrastructure Automation Suite (Automation Suite) with resource managers and controllers, such as Red Hat® Advanced Cluster Management (RH ACM) and Bare Metal Provisioning (BMP).
When deploying a blueprint, you can use a plug-in file to extend the capabilities of the Automation Suite platform to work with a wide range of tools and services. The use of plug-ins provides a method to automate complex workflows and manage resources across different cloud environments. The blueprint file must include an import statement for the plug-in files required.
The core plug-in for Automation Suite is the Imgr plug-in. The Imgr plug-in comes installed in the Automation Suite bundle. Ansible and Helm plug-ins are also in the installer bundle.
