You created a resource action for taking a snapshot of a virtual machine and you can see it listed on the
Resource Actions page.
What to do next
Publish the resource action.
Publish the Action for Taking a Snapshot
To use the Create a snapshot resource action as a post-provisioning operation, you must publish it.
Procedure
1 Select Advanced Services > Resource Actions.
2 Select the row of the Create a snapshot action, and click the Publish button.
You created and published a vRealize Orchestrator workflow as a resource action. You can navigate to
Administration > Catalog Management > Actions and see the Create a snapshot resource action in
the list of actions. You can assign an icon to the resource action. See Assign an Icon to a Resource
Action.
What to do next
Business group managers and tenant administrators can include the Create a snapshot resource action
in an entitlement. For more information about how to create and publish IaaS blueprints for virtual
platforms, see IaaS Configuration for Virtual Platforms.
Create and Publish an Action to Start an Amazon Virtual
Machine
By using the Advanced Service Designer, you can create and publish actions to extend the operations
that the consumers can perform on third-party provisioned resources.
In this scenario, you create and publish a resource action for quick starting of Amazon virtual machines.
Prerequisites
n
Install the vRealize Orchestrator plug-in for Amazon Web Services on your default
vRealize Orchestrator server.
n
Create or import a vRealize Orchestrator workflow for resource mapping of Amazon instances.
Procedure
1 Create a Resource Mapping for Amazon Instances
You can create a resource mapping to associate Amazon instances provisioned by using IaaS with
the vRealize Orchestrator type AWS:EC2Instance exposed by the Amazon Web Services plug-in.
2 Create a Resource Action to Start an Amazon Virtual Machine
You can create a resource action so that the consumers can start provisioned Amazon virtual
machines.
