[HOW-TO] Custom REST call on Destroy and Deploy
We would like to add additional operations in ACS when we do deploy and destroy.
For example, when VM is destroyed, we want to make create a JIRA ticket (rest call) to track the decomision process.
When VM is deployed, we may need to do something else, but also rest based?
I can see 2 ways of doing this,
1) Extend the UI and initiate extra REST calls via java script (low risk)
2) Add more functionality to API Command (extra work and maintenance burden)
3) Create a Custom front end (seems like a lot of work)
How can this be done most efficiently and hopefully with least intrusion?

How do you make the destroy and deploy ?
Would be easy to do it with a wrapper that also creates those tickets :)

Once the Spring work gets merged to master this will change as
componentContext.xml or the nonoss version is gone now. You would
need to create a file like
META-INF/cloudstack/core/spring-eventbus-context.xml on the classpath,
so if this was production, that would probably be
/etc/cloudstack/management/META-INF/cloudstack/core/spring-eventbus-context.xml.
Really we should properly package this in its own optional RPM, but
that's a different discussion.

In the Component Context file that you use in prod. The different build
targets pull in one of the different component contexts as the version to
use in the specific build. I suppose that means (because I know you use
Vmware), that you'd put it in nonossComponentContext.xml.in.

I'd think nonossComponentContext.xml, do I need to rebuild ACS? Or can I just plugin without rebuild?

I see you made an awesome post on integrating RabbitMQ with ACS.

You've made it a part of simulatorComponentContext.xml.in, however, in my case its going to be a production system with real events, where would you recommend this go?
Thanks

Have you considered using the RabbitMQ eventbus plugin, and tying into
the events that you want to act on that way?
