Morpheus v5.0.0 Documentation¶
Important
Morpheus 5.0.0 is a beta release and should not be installed in production environments. Review v5.0.0 Compatibility & Breaking Changes before installing or upgrading Morpheus.
5.0.0 Highlights¶
Introducing Personas¶
5.0.0 introduces Personas, a new approach to streamline, optimize and simplify targeted self-service across disciplines. Our first Persona is Service Catalog, a paradigm shift to self-service that removes the complexity of multi-cloud, multi-format, multi-service offerings and presents a simple RBAC Catalog with one-click ordering of any resource. The new Self Service tool allows Admins to easily create Catalog Items using existing wizards and specs that minimize or even eliminate end-user input. Personas are assigned using existing Roles and users can be give access to multiple Personas with quick access to each Persona added to the global nav.
- Personas further optimize interfaces and processes for target audiences.
- The Service Catalog Persona further simplifies self-service provisioning of any resource with minimum or even zero user input.
- Service Catalog users can add items to their cart and checkout with a few clicks, then access resource in the Service Catalog Dashboard or Inventory section.
- Admins can quickly create Catalog Items using familiar processes and existing configurations, exposing only the options they choose to end users.
- Instances and Blueprints/Apps are supported for Catalog Items in 5.0.0 with additional options coming, including Operational Workflows.
- Personas and Catalog Items utilize existing RBAC permissions and Policies. Users can easily switch between assigned Personas.

Morpheus Plugins¶

This includes providing plugin extensions for adding various integrations such as Cloud Integrations, Service Level Integrations or Providers for things like DNS, IPAM, Config Management, UI Extensions, Etc.
