Creating Storage Profiles

Using different input variables, you can use the Cloud Assembly IaaS API to create storage profiles for AWS, vSphere, or Azure cloud accounts.

A Cloud Assembly storage profile describes the kind of storage to be deployed. Storage is usually profiled according to characteristics such as service level or cost, performance, or purpose, such as backup.

As a cloud administrator, you organize your storage profiles under cloud-specific regions. One cloud account can have multiple regions, with multiple storage profiles under each. Using a storage profile, you define your storage for the region.

Storage profiles include disk customizations, and a means of identifying the type of storage by capability tags. Tags are matched against provisioning service request constraints to create the desired storage at deployment time.
