Blueprint attributes
When you add a blueprint operation to a resource, the system adds the appropriate attributes. You can choose whether or not to make the attributes available as catalog properties on the form when the system performs the operation.
Common attributes for the provisioning operation for virtual machines
| Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
| VmFolderName | The name of the virtual machine folder. |
| ResourceGroupName | The name of the resource group to which the resource belongs. |
| StackName | The name of the stack that the user is provisioning. |
| CloudAccount | The cloud account to which the resource stack belongs. |
| OSProfile | The resource profile, in this case the Operating System profile, upon which the cloud resource is based. |
| DiscoverAndAttachIP | Finds a free elastic IP and assigns it to a virtual machine on AWS. By default, if a VM is deployed on a VPC in AWS, it will not get a public IP. If elastic IPs are not available, no IP can be assigned to the VM. |
Warning: It is recommended that you do not use KeyPreference. If you use the attribute, do not set KeyPreference to user.
