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.
Prerequisites
Specify Amazon AWS Reservation Information (non-VPC).
Procedure
1 Click the Resources tab.
2 Select a method of assigning key pairs to compute instances from the Key pair drop-down menu.
Option Description
Not Specified Controls key pair behavior at the blueprint level rather than the reservation level.
Auto-Generated per Business Group Every machine provisioned in the same business group has the same key pair,
including machines provisioned on other reservations when the machine has the
same compute resource and business group. Because key pairs generated this
way are associated with a business group, the key pairs are deleted when the
business group is deleted.
Auto-Generated per Machine Each machine has a unique key pair. This is the most secure method because no
key pairs are shared among machines.
Specific Key Pair Every machine provisioned on this reservation has the same key pair. Browse for
a key pair to use for this reservation.
3 Select one or more available zones in the Locations list to make them available for this reservation.
Because Amazon machine images are region-specific, the Amazon machine images specified in a
blueprint require that the requesting user select a location in the corresponding region. This allows
vRealize Automation to select an appropriate reservation during provisioning.
4 Select one or more security groups that can be assigned to a machine during provisioning from the
security groups list.
5 If Amazon elastic load balancing is enabled, select from the Load balancers list to apply to the
selected locations.
Do not navigate away from this page. Your reservation is not complete.
Configure Amazon AWS Alerts (non-VPC)
You can configure alerts to send email notifications whenever reservation resources are low.
Alerts are an optional step in the reservation configuration. If you do not want to set alerts, click OK to
save your reservation.
