Create a Policy Instance
A policy instance allows an existing policy definition to take effect for all of the application provisioning
activities in a specific deployment environment.
Note The composite deployment feature does not support policy compliance scans.
Prerequisites
n
Log in to Application Services as an application cloud administrator.
n
Depending on your cloud provider, you must have at least one vCloud Director, vRealize Automation,
or Amazon EC2 deployment environment mapped in Application Services. See Create a vCloud
Director Deployment Environment, Create a vCloud Director Deployment Environment, Create a
vRealize Automation Deployment Environment, or Create an Amazon EC2 Deployment Environment.
n
If you are using a custom policy, verify that it is available in the library. See Add a Policy to the
Library.
Procedure
1 On the Application Services title bar, click the drop-down menu and select Clouds > Deployment
Environments.
2 Select an existing deployment environment.
3 Select the Policy Instances tab and click Create Policy Instance to create a policy instance.
4 Complete the policy instance information for the deployment environment.
Option Description
Name and Description Include the policy name in either of these fields. The text from these fields
appears in the policy instances section for the deployment environment.
Policy If the policy does not appear in the drop-down list, cancel the dialog box and
select Library > Policies to add a custom policy to the library.
Version Click the down arrow to select from a list of versions that are associated with the
policy.
Critical Select this check box to stop operations that can result in a non-compliant
deployment, irrespective of current compliance state of deployment.
Before you use this option, it is recommended that the policy compliance is fully
established in a deployment environment. A non-critical policy instance marks the
compliance status of the deployment but does not stop the operation.
Note If you specify a new property value in the policy instance, the new property value overrides the
existing library value defined in the policy.
The properties and scripts defined in the policy version are automatically populated in the Properties
and Actions sections.
