VMnamingpattern Bydefault,aprefixisusedtoidentifyalldesktopsinapool

thisentryinorder todistinguisheachdesktopfromothers
inthesamepool.
Youcanoverridethisbehaviorbyenteringanamethat
containsatokenrepresentingthepoolnumber;thetoken
canappearanywhereinthename.Forexam
ple:
amber-{n}-desktop
Afterdeployment{n}isreplacedwiththepoolnumberof
thedesktop.
Fixedlengthtokenscanbeenteredusingthen:fixed=
construction.Forexample:
amber-{n:fixed=3}
Afterdeployment{n:fixed=3}isreplacedwitha
fixed‐lengthpoolnumberforeachthedesktop:
