5 Create a deployment environment in the registered cloud provider.
Map the Application Services deployment environment to one of the following components in your
cloud environment before you can deploy an application.
Deployment Environment Reference Topic
Organization vDC within vCloud
Director
Create a vCloud Director Deployment Environment
Reservation policy within vCloud
Automation Center
Create a vRealize Automation Deployment Environment
Amazon VPC and associated
Availability Zone
Create an Amazon EC2 Deployment Environment
6 Map the cloud template to a logical template.
When you map a cloud template to a logical template, you are linking the Application Services logical
template to the actual template in the cloud.
See Add a Logical Template to the Library.
7 Deploy a predefined sample application from the Deployment Profile wizard.
See Chapter 18 Deploying Predefined Library Components and Create a Deployment Profile.
8 Check the status of the deployment.
During deployment, components are installed and configured based on the dependencies of an
application. See Understanding the Deployment and Update Process.
You can use the user interface to check the status of an application deployment in real time. See
Using the Deployment Summary Page.
9 Troubleshoot deployment failures.
If you experience deployment failures, you can examine the virtual machine-specific logs and
deployment logs and troubleshoot the problem.
To access the virtual machine-specific logs, see View Deployed VM Details and Execution Plan of an
Application. To resolve the problem, see the Application Services Troubleshooting document.
