# Dynamic Deployment Parameters

# Overview

This document describes **Dynamic Parameter Support** for deployment parameters.

By default, deployment parameter files are static, requiring all parameter values to be predefined during template creation. As a result, every deployment uses the same parameter values, limiting deployment flexibility and increasing the likelihood of resource naming conflicts.

With Dynamic Parameter Support, template owners can designate selected deployment parameters as **dynamic**.

During deployment, users are prompted to provide values for these parameters through the portal UI, enabling customized deployments while reducing template duplication and improving overall deployment flexibility.

# Prerequisites

To use this feature, enable the following feature flags:

- **Partner-level flag –** Enables Dynamic Parameter Support for the partner.
- **Template-level flag –** Enables Dynamic Parameter Support for a specific template.

| **Note**: The template-level flag is visible only after the partner-level flag has been enabled. |

| Note: In **CloudLabs vNext Portal**, the flag is auto enabled if a parameters file contain the dynamic parameters configurations. |

# Dynamic Parameter Configuration

To make a deployment parameter configurable by attendees, set the **isDynamic** property to **true** in the parameter definition.

Parameters marked as dynamic are displayed in the deployment UI, where attendees can provide or modify their values before launching the deployment.

## Supported Input Types

The following input types are supported:

- **text** – Displays a text input field.
- **number** – Displays a numeric input field.
- **password** – Displays a masked password field.
- **checkbox** – Displays a checkbox for boolean values.
- **list** – Displays a drop-down list using the values defined in inputValues.

## Parameter Properties

| **Property** | **Description** |
| --- | --- |
| **isDynamic** | When set to true, the parameter is displayed in the deployment UI for attendee input. |
| **userFriendlyLabel** | The display name shown to attendees in the deployment UI. |
| **inputType** | Specifies the type of input control to display. Supported values are text, number, password, checkbox, and list. |
| **value** | The default value shown in the UI. Attendees can modify this value before deployment. |
| **inputValues** | Applicable only when inputType is list. Defines the available options for the drop-down. |

## List Input Format

For parameters with inputType set to list, each option consists of the following properties:

- **displayName** – The user-friendly text displayed in the drop-down.
- **value** – The actual value stored and used during deployment.

For example, the value Standard_LRS can be presented to attendees as **Standard Locally Redundant Storage (LRS)**, making the available options easier to understand while preserving the underlying deployment value.

# Attendee’s view:

Based on the template configuration, this is how the UI will looks to the attendee, where he can add the parameters and submit and launch.

# Known Limitations:

- **Unique Parameter Names** If a template contains multiple cloud templates, ensure that each parameter file uses unique parameter names to avoid conflicts.
- **Reset Deployment** If the original deployment used dynamic parameters, a reset deployment reuses the same values previously provided by the attendee. Attendees are not prompted to re-enter dynamic parameter values during a reset.
- **Hot Instance Support** Hot Instances are not supported with this feature. Because Hot Instances are provisioned before an attendee launches a lab, the required dynamic parameter values are not available at provisioning time.
