      Field Description
      Operation Type

      Select the type of operation.

      Invoke Cloud API: Select this option to select a provider, interface, and method from CAPI.
      API Provider

      [Operation Type = Invoke Cloud API]

      Select the API that provides the interfaces you need. The providers are part of the Cloud API (CAPI).

      For example, CAPI supplies the Terraform OpenSourceprovider, which provides the Configuration Orchestration Interface.

      This value appears if you select the Invoke Cloud API operation type.
      API Interface

      [Operation Type = Invoke Cloud API]

      		 Select the interface that has the methods you want to use. For this example, the Configuration Orchestration Interface provides multiple interfaces or methods, which the system uses during provisioning.
      API Method

      [Operation Type = Invoke Cloud API]

      		 Select the method to perform the operation. In this example, ExecuteCommand is required to provision terraform templates.
      CAPI Version

      [Operation Type = Invoke Cloud API]

      		 Enter the version of the CAPI API.
      Condition Enter an optional condition that must be met before the system uses this step.
    9. Click Submit.
    10. Click Response Processor and then click the plus icon.
      The Add Response Processor dialog box appears.
    11. Select Create_AzureTF_Stack_Response_Processor from the Script Name list and click Submit.
    12. Move the state of the resource block from Draft to Published.
      The Azure Datacenter resource block moves from the draft to the published state and no further changes can be made to the resource block. Changes to a resource block can be made only if the status is set to Draft.
