Creating Applications 14
Application Services provides a drag-and-drop canvas that application architects can use to model an
application blueprint. With this blueprint, you can create applications for deployment on a cloud.
You can drag the following items to the blueprint.
n
Logical templates from the library
You can use the Application Services sample templates or create custom templates. The cloud
templates that contain operating system images and might have services preinstalled and configured
are mapped to Application Services logical templates.
n
Application infrastructure components and scripts from the library
The included sample services are reusable software components. Application Services includes
installation and configuration scripts that follow best practices for services.
n
Application components
These applications operate on top of the services. After you configure an application component, you
can deploy it on a compatible service or an operating system image.
Sharing
Application Services relies on vRealize Automation for
A logged-in Application Services user belongs to one or more business groups. One or more business
groups belong to a single tenant. One or more tenants
