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.
Prerequisites
n
Log in to Application Services as an application cloud administrator and an application publisher
and deployer.
n
Verify that at least one cloud template is mapped to each logical template used in the blueprint. See
Add a Logical Template to the Library.
n
Verify that at least one application is created in Application Services. See Chapter 14 Creating
Applications.
n
Depending on your cloud environment, you must have at least one vCloud Director or Amazon EC2
network available for the deployment environment. See Create a vCloud Director Deployment
Environment or Create an Amazon EC2 Deployment Environment.
n
Register your cloud template to a Application Services cloud provider. See Register the vCloud
Director Cloud Provider and Template, Register the vRealize Automation Cloud Provider and
Template and Register the Amazon EC2 Cloud Provider and Template.
n
Familiarize yourself with custom properties for Application Services deployments and reserved
custom properties. See vRealize Automation Custom Properties Reference.
n
Verify that a deployment profile is created. See Create a Deployment Profile.
Procedure
1 Select a deployment environment from the list and click Map Details.
You can view the corresponding list for the Deployment Environment section, click the title bar and
select Clouds > Deployment Environments from the drop-down menu.
2 In the External Services section, map an external service to an external service instance in the
deployment environment.
If the list of external service instance is empty, the existing instance was not registered in the
deployment environment. If you have access, register at least one external service instance or ask
your cloud administrator to register an instance for you.
Associated external service instances appear in the drop-down menu.
