Install VC Packages
Virtual Client has a dependency component that can be added to a workload or monitor profile to install dependency packages from a package store. The following section illustrates the details for integrating this into the profile.
Preliminaries
Reference the following documentation on Virtual Client dependency packages for additional information on dependency packages.
Supported Platform/Architectures
- linux-x64
- linux-arm64
- win-x64
- win-arm64
Profile Component Parameters
The following section describes the parameters used by the individual component in the profile.
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| BlobContainer | Yes | The name of the Azure storage account blob container where the package exists (e.g. packages). |
| BlobName | Yes | The name of the file/blob to download within the Azure storage account to download (e.g. openssl.3.0.0.zip). |
| PackageName | Yes | The logical name of the package that will be registered with the Virtual Client runtime. This logical name typically matches the name defined within the *.vcpkg file for the package and is the name that other profile components can use to reference/discover the package and its location. |
| Scenario | No | A name/identifier for the specific component in the profile. This is used for telemetry purposes only with components in dependency sections of the profile (i.e. cannot be used with --scenarios option on the command line). |
| Extract | No | Default = true. True to instruct the Virtual Client that the package is an archive (e.g. .zip, .tgz) and to extract it. False if the file is a standalone file and should be left exactly as-is after download. |
Example
The following sections provides examples for how to integrate the component into a profile.
