Creating a Cloud Blueprint 4

policy and management settings. A tenant administrator or business group manager creates blueprints for
provisioning machines.

Choosing a Blueprint Scenario
Depending on your environment and the methods of provisioning your fabric administrators have
prepared, there are several procedures available to create the blueprint for your needs.
Unless otherwise noted in the Choosing a Blueprint Scenario table, all of these provisioning methods
require preparation by your fabric administrators before you can create a blueprint and provision
machines. Please contact your fabric administrators to determine which provisioning methods they have
prepared for you.
