Technical documentation #
A Provisioner Group in XOAP allows you to organize multiple provisioners into a single, logical unit. This is useful for grouping related configuration tasks or setup steps that should be applied together during the image build process.
Provisioners within the group are executed in the exact order they are listed, which gives you full control over the execution flow. For example, you can ensure that a file is copied before a script is executed, or that Windows Updates run before a reboot.
When creating a provisioner group, you define:
• Group name – a unique name for easy identification
• Description – optional text explaining the purpose of the group
• Tags – to help organize and filter groups in large environments
• Selected Provisioners – choose one or more provisioners to include from the available list
Provisioners within a Provisioner Group are executed in the order they are listed, and the entire group can then be reused across multiple Provisioner Roles. This promotes reusability and consistency across builds.
