Pushing Container Templates for Use in Blueprints
You can make a container template available for use in a vRealize Automation blueprint.
A container template can include multiple containers. When you push a multi-container template to
vRealize Automation, the template is created as a multi-component blueprint in vRealize Automation.
The container-specific properties that you add to the container template are recognized in the
vRealize Automation blueprint. See Using Container Properties and Property Groups in a Blueprint.
When you request to provision a blueprint published in the vRealize Automation catalog, you provision
the source container application for that blueprint.
You can add other components to the vRealize Automation blueprint, including the following component
types:
n
Machine types
n
Software components
n
Other blueprints
n
NSX network and security components
