Note While the Extra Configuration option remains available, it is recommended that you add custom
properties to the machine blueprint in vRealize Automation, rather than add them using the Extra
Configuration option. Custom properties that you add to the machine blueprint in vRealize Automation
are visible as node properties when you request application provisioning from the vRealize Automation
catalog. However, you can use the Extra Configuration option to add additional custom properties that
are not present as part of the machine blueprint, including custom properties that are not part of the
blueprint's associated build profiles or business group.

select Clouds > Deployment Environments from the drop-down menu.
