You added the CentOS with MySQL catalog item to your new Dev and QE catalog service and entitled your
business group members to request and manage the item.
What to do next
After you verify your work by provisioning the CentOS with MySQL catalog item, you can add additional
users to the entitlement to make the catalog item publicly available to your development and quality
engineering users. If you want to further govern the provisioning of resources in your environment, you can
create approval policies for the MySQL Software component and the CentOS for Software Testing machine.
See “Scenario: Create and Apply CentOS with MySQL Approval Policies,” on page 393.
Scenario: Create and Apply CentOS with MySQL Approval Policies
As the tenant administrator for the development and quality engineering business group, you want to apply
strict governance to catalog item requests. Before your users can provision the CentOS with MySQL catalog
item, you want your vSphere virtual infrastructure administrator to approve the machine request and you
want your software manager to approve the software request.
You create and apply one approval policy for the vSphere CentOS with MySQL service catalog request to
require approval for the machine by a vSphere virtual infrastructure administrator based on specic
conditions, and another approval policy for the MySQL Software component to require approval by your
software manager for every request.
Approval administrators can only create the approvals, and a business group managers can apply them to
entitlements. As a tenant administrator, you can both create the approvals and apply them to entitlements.
Prerequisites
n
Log in to the vRealize Automation console as a tenant administrator. Only a tenant administrator can
both create and apply approval policies.
n
Ensure that the CentOS with MySQL catalog item is included in a service. See “Scenario: Make the
CentOS with MySQL Application Blueprint Available in the Service Catalog,” on page 390.
