IaaS administrators and fabric administrators can use the Infrastructure Organizer to quickly organize
multiple compute resources into fabric groups, assign cost profiles, and bring existing virtual machines
under vRealize Automation management.

Creating Blueprints for Importing Virtual Machines
A tenant administrator or business group manager must create a blueprint that matches the machines
you want to import using the Infrastructure Organizer.
Make sure that the blueprint matches as closely as possible the machines you are importing. . For
example, if you are importing vSphere machines that were created by using Linux Kickstart, create a
vSphere blueprint for Linux Kickstart provisioning for importing those machines.
Consider which business groups need access to these imported machines, whether you want them to be
reconfigured or reprovisioned, and how long to lease or archive the machines. These settings and more
are all configured on the blueprint you use to import the machines.
Choosing an Infrastructure Organizer Scenario
Fabric administrators and IaaS administrators can use the Infrastructure Organizer to organize compute
resources into fabric groups, assign cost profiles to compute resources, import existing virtual machines,
and associate imported machines with business groups.
Depending on your role or combination of roles, you can leverage different capabilities of the
Infrastructure Organizer.
