10 To change existing information for a vCloud Director cloud provider, click Edit in the toolbar, make
your changes, and click Save.
The cloud provider is registered and its virtual machine templates and virtual datacenters are available for
use in Application Services.
What to do next
Map these vCloud Director cloud templates to the Application Services logical templates. See Add a
Logical Template to the Library.
Create a deployment environment to deploy an application to the vCloud Director environment. See
Create a vCloud Director Deployment Environment.
Create a vCloud Director Deployment Environment
You must map a deployment environment to a vCloud Director organization vDC before you can deploy
an application.
vCloud Director vDCs provide an environment where virtual systems can be stored, deployed, and
operated. For example, you might have separate deployment environments for development, testing,
staging, and production. For vCloud Director, a deployment environment is mapped to an organization
vDC.
If a deployment environment is currently being used in a deployment profile or a current deployment, you
cannot delete it.
Prerequisites
n
Log in to Application Services as an application cloud administrator.
n
Verify that at least one vCloud Director cloud provider is registered in Application Services. See
Register the vCloud Director Cloud Provider and Template.
n
Verify that an organization vDC is created and configured in the vCloud Director organization. The
Application Services deployment environment is equivalent to the organization vDC in
vCloud Director.
For information about setting upvCloud Director for use with Application Services, see Preparing to
Install Application Services.
n
Familiarize yourself with the basic concepts of defining and configuring component properties and
actions. See Chapter 12 Developing Application Services Components.
Procedure
1 On the Application Services title bar, click the drop-down menu and select Clouds > Deployment
Environments.
2 Click New.
