SkyBuild-AutoNode-WinFlow

Getting Started with SkyBuild: AutoNode WinFlow

Welcome to the SkyBuild framework. This guide will walk you through setting up the connection between Jira Service Management (JSM) and your Windows Infrastructure.

---

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have the following:

• Jira Service Management (Cloud or Data Center): Admin access to create Assets and Automation rules.
• Orchestration Server: A Windows host with PowerShell 5.1+ and network access to your hypervisor (Hyper-V/VMware/Azure).
• Atlassian API Token: For the script to communicate back to Jira.

Step 1: Configure Jira Assets (AutoNode)

SkyBuild relies on Jira Assets as the single source of truth.

1. Create Object Schema: Navigate to Assets and create a new schema named SkyBuild.
2. Define Object Types: Create the following hierarchy:
   • Virtual Machine: Attributes: Hostname (Key), CPU, RAM, Status.
   • OS Image: Attributes: ImageName, Version, Path.
3. Link Objects: Add an attribute to Virtual Machine of type “Referenced Object” pointing to OS Image.

Step 2: Set Up Jira Automation

This “brain” triggers the WinFlow engine when a request is approved.

1. Trigger: Issue transitioned to “Approved”.
2. Action: Send web request (Webhook).
3. Webhook URL: The listener URL of your orchestration server.
4. HTTP Header: Authorization: Basic <Base64_Encoded_Credentials>.
5. Custom Payload (JSON):

```json { “issue_key”: “”, “hostname”: “”, “cpu”: “”, “ram”: “”, “os_image”: “” }
