Custom properties in a multi-machine blueprint override properties specified in component blueprints.
Runtime properties on the component machine, which are specified at request time or by editing the
machine after it is provisioned, override runtime properties specified at the multi-machine service level.
This allows the multi-machine blueprint to apply consistent behavior across all of its component
machines, while allowing a user to override the multi-machine service properties for each component
type.
Custom properties on multi-machine service and component machines are processed in the following
order.
1 Build profile specified on component blueprint
2 Component blueprint
3 Build profile specified on multi-machine blueprint
4 Multi-machine blueprint
5 Business group
6 Compute resource
7 Reservations
8 Endpoint
9 Request time specified on a multi-machine service
10 Request time specified on a component machine
A property value specified in a source that appears later in the list overrides values for the same property
specified in sources earlier in the list. Custom properties specified in the multi-machine service are
applied to all component machines in the service. If a property is designated as Prompt User on a
component blueprint, the value specified at request time is applied to all machines of the same
component type that are provisioned as part of that request.
Some properties, such as Hostname, must be unique to each machine. Do not specify the property at the
component level. If the Hostname property is specified at the component level, it is ignored.
Blueprint Action Settings for Multi-Machine Services
Tenant administrators and business group managers use blueprints to control which actions are available
for machines that are provisioned from the blueprint.
The actions settings and entitlements specified for the multi-machine blueprint override settings in the
component blueprints. For example, if you have a component blueprint that is restricted to userA and you
add it as a component of a multi-machine blueprint that is available to everyone, the business group can
provision the restricted machine as part of a multi-machine service. However, only userA can provision it
as a standalone machine.
