Create a Basic Red Hat OpenStack 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 Basic Red Hat OpenStack Blueprint Information
Blueprint information settings control who can access a blueprint, how many machines they can
provision with it, and the daily cost.
2 Specify Basic Red Hat OpenStack Blueprint Build Information
Build information settings determine how a machine is provisioned and control the resources
consumed by a machine provisioned from your blueprint.
3 Add Basic Red Hat OpenStack Blueprint Custom Properties
Adding custom properties to a blueprint gives you detailed control over provisioned machines.
4 Configure Basic Red Hat OpenStack Blueprint Actions
Use blueprint actions and entitlements together 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.
