Profile manager

The Fabric Services System Profile Manager handles the life cycle of ACL and QoS profiles from creation to deployment.

At a high level, the steps for deploying a QoS or ACL profile is as follows:
  1. Create a QoS or ACL profile.
  2. Assign the QoS or ACL to the sub-interfaces or subnets (ACL profile only) in a workload VPN intent.
  3. Deploy the Profile Manager.

    You can either auto-deploy the Profile Manager or deploy it manually.

    • To auto-deploy the Profile Manager:
      1. Add the workload VPN intent to the deployment pipeline

        At this point Profile Manager is added to the deployment pipeline and is automatically deployed.

      2. Deploy the workload VPN intent from the pipeline.
    • To deploy the Profile Manager manually:
      1. Generate the configuration for profile manager.
      2. Add the Profile Manager to the pipeline.
      3. Deploy the Profile Manager from the pipeline.
      4. Deploy the workload VPN intent from the pipeline.

To edit or delete an ACL or QoS profile, first you have to create a candidate version of the Profile Manager. Then, edit or delete the profile and manually deploy the Profile Manager.
