6 Map a cloud template to the logical template.
You can add multiple cloud templates to one logical template version or select different cloud
templates for different clouds. Even if you are using the same cloud provider, you might need to
select from different cloud templates at deployment time to allow for different template configurations.
Duplicate cloud template and logical template mappings and empty rows are not saved.
For example, with multiple cloud templates, you can use the same logical template. If you are
deploying to a production environment, you can select a cloud template that has a large amount of
disk space. For a test or staging environment, you can select a cloud template with a small amount of
disk space.
a In the Cloud Provider Name column, click the down arrow to select a cloud provider.
A list of cloud providers that you created appears.
b In the Cloud Template column, click the down arrow to designate a cloud template.
Cloud templates that belong to the same group as the user appear in the drop-down menu. If the
list of cloud templates is empty, the existing cloud templates do not belong to your group or a
cloud template was not registered.
7 (Optional) To map multiple cloud templates to a logical template, repeat Step 6.
8 (Optional) Define a preinstalled service.
a In the Service Name column, click the down arrow to select a preinstalled service.
b To use a service that is not in the list, click Cancel, and select Library > Services to create a
service and the action scripts it includes.
If any preinstalled services are added to a logical template after creating a blueprint, the new
preinstalled services are not added to the node.
9 (Optional) Add the new preinstalled services to the node.
a Drag the logical template with the preinstalled service to the application blueprint.
b Transfer the services and components to the new logical template.
c Recreate any applicable dependencies and delete the old template.
10 When you finish creating the template, click Save.
The logical template that you created is added to the Logical Templates page. The template also
appears in the list of logical templates that you can include when you create a deployment blueprint for an
application.
What to do next
Copy an existing logical template version, edit, or delete the template. See Maintain Logical Template
Versions.
