Infrastructure
The Infrastructure section provides a central overview of all vendor- and system-related data in OpenVLE.
Here you manage vendors, applications, and operating systems used in virtual machines (VMs) or VM templates.
This information serves the structured capture, documentation, and traceability within the management software.
Where can I find this section?
Via main menu: Infrastructure
Features at a glance
- Maintain vendor data and assign them to operating systems and applications
- Manage operating systems with version and architecture
- Manage applications with name, version, and description
- Assign applications and operating systems to VMs or VM templates
- Support for inventory management and documentation of deployed software
Example or use case
An administrator wants to document which software is installed on a training VM. She opens the Infrastructure → Applications section, creates the application "LibreOffice 7.6", and then assigns it to the VM template "Debian12-Training". This makes it possible to track at any time which software is available on which VMs or VM templates.
Notes / special considerations
The features listed here are used exclusively for the inventory management of VMs and VM templates.
No automatic installation of applications takes place within the systems.
If you need applications in a VM or VM template, you must still install them manually.
Only after completing the configuration should the VM or VM template be assigned to the corresponding entries in OpenVLE.
This separation between inventory management and installation ensures clear traceability and prevents unintended changes to production systems.
