Cloud Blueprints

Cloud Blueprints define the characteristics of a cloud to ensure certain settings are enforced when the cloud
is created. Examples of these settings are: the number of virtual machines allowed, the allocation model used,
and quotas and limits for the Storage, CPU, Memory, Network, and so on. A Cloud Blueprint must be specified
by the consumer when requesting a new cloud in the Request Manager User Portal.
The benefits of Cloud Blueprints include:

n
details of cloud settings.
Administration of these clouds is vastly simplified as the number of variations in the environment is
n
greatly reduced.
