Create an Amazon AWS Reservation (VPC)
Fabric administrators must allocate resources to machines by creating a reservation before members of a
business group can request machines them .
Amazon Web Services users can create a Amazon Virtual Private Cloud to design a virtual network
topology according to your specifications. If you plan to use Amazon VPC, you must assign an
Amazon VPC to a vRealize Automation reservation.
Note After you create a reservation, you cannot change the business group or the compute resource.
For information about creating an Amazon VPC by using the AWS Management Console, see
Amazon Web Services documentation.
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.
n
Create an Amazon Virtual Private Cloud environment for use with vRealize Automation. See Using
Virtual Private Cloud.
