In this step, you drag a network machine component onto a vRealize Automation cloud template canvas and add settings for an isolated network deployment to your target VMware Cloud on AWS environment.

Add network isolation to the cloud template that you created earlier. The cloud template is already associated with a project and cloud zone that support deployment to your VMware Cloud on AWS environment, as well as the network profile and network that you configured for isolation.

Unless otherwise indicated, the step values that you enter in this procedure are for this example workflow only.

Prerequisites

Procedure

  1. Open the cloud template that you created in the previous workflow. See Define a vCenter machine resource in a cloud template design to support VMware Cloud on AWS deployment in vRealize Automation.
  2. From the components on the left of the cloud template design page, drag a network component onto the canvas.
  3. Edit the network component YAML code to specify a network type of either private or outbound, as shown in bold.
    resources:  Cloud_Network_1:    
                type: Cloud.Network
                properties:
                  name: vmc_isolated      
                  networkType: private      
    

    OR

    resources:  Cloud_Network_1:
                type: Cloud.Network
                properties:
                  name: vmc_isolated      
                  networkType: outbound      
    

What to do next

You are ready to deploy or close the cloud template.
