Automation Assembler enables you to configure global image and flavor mappings that are available to all Virtual Private Zones (VPZs) within your organization. Alternatively, you can override the global settings and configure tenant specific image and flavor mappings as appropriate for your deployments.
Typically, a cloud administrator configures global image and flavor mappings using the left navigation links on the Tenant Management page, and these mappings apply across the board for all of your tenants. In some cases, you may want to create custom, tenant-specific, image and flavor mappigs for specific tenants and the Tenant Management page supports this option.
Image and flavor mapping are shown on their respective tabs on the Tenant Management page. Click on any of the existing image and flavor mappings to edit them. To delete an image or flavor mapping, select the mapping and then click Delete.
