Day 2 operations using Workflow Studio subflow
Take advantage of the flow designer to automate your Day 2 operations. Quickly write a subflow that communicates with a Cloud API or a particular resource.
Day 1 operations provision resources in a cloud as part of ordering from the ServiceNow catalog or the cloud catalog. These operations result in a stack that contains a list of provisioned resources. Day 2 operations can be carried out on the resources that are part of the stack or the resources discovered by the system.
Previously, to execute Day 2 operations in Cloud Provisioning and Governance, you had to interact directly with the Cloud API (CAPI). This frequently meant that you had to write new APIs to support a new operation. You can now use subflows to map Day 2 operations and create REST endpoints that call cloud providers and trigger platform-specific actions.
