vRealize Automation does not manage the primary volume of an elastic block storage-backed
instance.
For more information about Amazon elastic block storage, and details on how to enable it by using
Amazon Web Services Management Console, see Amazon Web Services documentation.
Using Optional Red Hat OpenStack Features
vRealize Automation supports several features in Red Hat OpenStack including security groups and
floating IP addresses.
Using Security Groups
Security groups allow you to specify rules to control network traffic over specific ports.
A fabric administrator specifies security groups when creating a Red Hat OpenStack reservation. A
business group manager can specify security groups when requesting a machine.
Each region includes at least the default security group. Additional security groups must be managed in
Red Hat OpenStack. Security groups for each region are imported during data collection. For more
information about managing security groups, see the Red Hat OpenStack documentation.
Using Floating IP Addresses
Floating IP addresses can be assigned to a running virtual instance in Red Hat OpenStack.
To enable assignment of floating IP addresses, you must configure IP forwarding and create a floating IP
pool in Red Hat OpenStack. For more information, see the Red Hat OpenStack documentation.
A tenant administrator or business group manager must entitle the Associate Floating IP and
Disassociate Floating IP actions to machine owners. The entitled users can then associate a floating IP
address to a provisioned machine from the external networks attached to the machine by selecting an
available address from the floating IP address pool. After a floating IP address has been associated with
a machine, the user can select Disassociate Floating IP to view the currently assigned floating IP
addresses and disassociate an address from a machine.
