Template Overview

An environment template is a repeatable blueprint that is used to deploy PeopleSoft environments using Cloud Manager. A template defines the topology to be used for provisioning the PeopleSoft environment, including the Database Template, which defines the database source, middle tier components, and optional components such as search stack and PeopleSoft client. A template also defines environment attributes to enable streamlined deployments. Access to templates can be managed by defining security attributes of the templates.
