If multiple reservations meet all of the criteria, the reservation from which to provision a requested
machine is determined by the following logic:
n
Reservations with higher priority are selected over reservations with lower priority.
n
If multiple reservations have the same priority, the reservation with the lowest percentage of its
machine quota allocated is selected.
n
If multiple reservations have the same priority and quota usage, machines are distributed among
reservations in round-robin fashion.
Choosing a Reservation Scenario
A fabric administrator creates reservations to allocate resources to business groups. Depending on your
scenario, the procedure to create an endpoint differs.
Each business group must have at least one reservation for its members to provision machines of that
type. For example, a business group with a Red Hat OpenStack reservation, but not an Amazon AWS
reservation, cannot request a machine from Amazon AWS. The group must be allocated a reservation
specifically for Amazon AWS resources.
Table 1‑5. Choosing a Reservation Scenario
Scenario Procedure
Create a reservation to allocate resources on Amazon AWS
(without using Virtual Private Cloud)
Create an Amazon AWS Reservation (non-VPC)
Create a reservation to allocate resources on Amazon AWS
using Virtual Private Cloud
Create an Amazon AWS Reservation (VPC)
Create a reservation to allocate resources on
Red Hat OpenStack
Create a Red Hat OpenStack Reservation
Create an Amazon AWS Reservation (non-VPC)
Fabric administrators must allocate resources to machines by creating a reservation before members of a
business group can request machines.
Prerequisites
n
Log in to the vRealize Automation console as a fabric administrator.
n
A tenant administrator must create at least one business group. See Create a Business Group.
Procedure
1 Specify Amazon AWS Reservation Information (non-VPC)
Each reservation is configured for a specific business group to grant them access to request
machines on a specified compute resource.
2 Specify Amazon AWS Key Pairs and Network Settings (non-VPC)
Configure the resources and network paths available to machines that are provisioned by using this
reservation.
