Product Metadata in Fleet Application Management

Take advantage of the "Bring your own product" offering in Fleet Application Management and use the OCI resources, in addition to using Oracle-owned products.

The "Bring your own product" feature enables you to set up the foundation for managing the lifecycle of a product. It begins by inputting a product specification, which automates the process of applying patches and streamlines updates for your products. This ensures compliance within Fleet Application Management. ​To bring your own products and use them, you can follow these steps:

  1. Define your product: Identify the software platform or application that you want to manage using Fleet Application Management. ​This product could be a custom application developed in-house or a third-party software product.
  2. Create a product: After you identify your product, you can create a corresponding product entry in Fleet Application Management. ​This step involves providing details such as the product name and version, and any other relevant information.
  3. Associate runbooks: Runbooks define the workflow for handling maintenance operations on a resource. ​You can associate runbooks with your product in Fleet Application Management. ​These runbooks contain a set of tasks that need to be run during the lifecycle management operations of your product.
  4. Provide patches: You can specify the patches that need to be applied to your product, ensuring that it's up-to-date with the latest patch types.
  5. Manage policy rules: You can define compliance policies for your product and monitor its compliance status. ​This step ensures that your product adheres to regulatory standards and best practices.
You can create and manage a product or product stack of your choice to start self-servicing the lifecycle management of these products.
