Enabler Playbooks

Enabler playbooks are used to deploy applications such as database systems, file systems, messaging queues which are used by the Rierino platform.

These playbooks are optional, since it is possible to use existing deployments or deploy such applications using cloud vendor marketplaces or SaaS providers. Their primary purpose is to enable automation of cloud agnostic deployments.

Not all these deployments are mandatory, as many of them are used for specific types of modules only.
