Creating a Template Version

Function

CreateTemplateVersion

This API creates a template version.

The request must contain either template_uri or template_body. The former is the OBS link of the template content, and the latter is the template content.
The ID of the new template version is automatically increased by 1 based on the maximum template version ID.
For details about how to create a template version, refer to CreateTemplateVersionRequestBody.
template_id is the unique ID of the template. It is a UUID generated by RFS when a template is created. Template names are unique at one specific time, so you can create a template named HelloWorld and another template with the same name after deleting the first one. For parallel development, team members may want to ensure that they are operating the template they created, not one with the same name created by other members after deleting the previous one. To avoid this mismatch, check the ID, since RFS ensures each template has a unique ID that does not change with updates. If the template_id value differs from the current template ID, 400 is returned.

URI

POST /v1/{project_id}/templates/{template_name}/versions
