As a best practice, refresh the cloud template information, vRealize Automation Infrastructure IP, and
the host name when you edit a vRealize Automation cloud provider.
Note If the vRealize Automation blueprint name changes in the vRealize Automation environment,
the new blueprint name does not appear in the Application Services user interface. The new blueprint
name is updated only in the cloud template meta data.
The cloud provider is registered and its templates are available for use in Application Services.
What to do next
Map the vRealize Automation cloud template to the Application Services logical templates. See Add a
Logical Template to the Library.
Create a deployment environment to deploy an application to the vRealize Automation environment. See
Create a vRealize Automation Deployment Environment.
Create a vRealize Automation Deployment Environment
You can map a deployment environment to a vRealize Automation reservation policy before you deploy
applications to that cloud environment. If you do not select a reservation policy, vRealize Automation
picks any suitable reservation policy at deployment time.
A vRealize Automation business group can have several reservations mapped to reservation policies. A
reservation has a pool of resources such as memory, storage, and networking to build machines. Based
on the reservation settings, you can save a virtual machine in a designated storage space and determine
the network it can connect to. You use reservation policies to group similar resources to create defined
service levels or to make a specific type of resource available for a particular purpose.
You can add a reservation policy with a reservation to a vRealize Automation blueprint. When you request
a machine from this blueprint, the virtual machine is saved in a designated storage space and assigned to
a network that is already defined in the reservation. If you do not map a reservation policy to a blueprint,
vRealize Automation assigns a reservation depending on the resource requirements of the virtual
machine in the vRealize Automation blueprint.
Prerequisites
n
Log in to Application Services as an application cloud administrator.
n
Verify that vRealize Automation 6.1 or later is installed and configured.
n
Verify that the vRealize Automation business group that you plan to use with Application Services is
created and configured.
n
Verify that you have tenant administrator privileges to access the business groups.
Users with tenant administrator privileges create and maintain business groups. For more information
about business groups, see IaaS Configuration for Virtual Platforms.
n
Verify that you are a business group manager for the business group.
