Blueprints
Create an Amazon AWS Blueprint
Machine blueprints determine the attributes of the machine, the manner in which it is provisioned, and its
policy and management settings. A tenant administrator or business group manager creates a blueprint
for provisioning machines.
Prerequisites
Log in to the vRealize Automation console as a tenant administrator or business group manager.
Procedure
1 Specify Amazon AWS Blueprint Information
Tenant administrators or business group managers use blueprint information settings to control who
can access a blueprint, how many machines they can provision with it, and daily costs.
2 Specify Amazon AWS Blueprint Build Information
Tenant administrators or business group managers use build information settings to determine how
a machine is provisioned.
3 Configure Amazon Machine Resources
Machine resource settings control the resources consumed by a machine provisioned by using your
blueprint.
4 Add Amazon AWS Blueprint Custom Properties
Adding custom properties to a blueprint gives you detailed control over provisioned machines.
5 Configure Amazon AWS Blueprint Actions
Tenant administrators or business group managers use blueprint actions and entitlements to
maintain detailed control over provisioned machines.
What to do next
The blueprint is not available as a catalog item until you publish it. See Publish a Blueprint.
