How to define flavor Mappings in vRealize Automation 8

When provisioning virtual machines to a cloud provider, users usually cannot exactly specify how much memory or CPUs should be used by a virtual machine. Instead cloud providers come with predefined flavors.

vRealize Automation 8 also allows to define flavors. That is quite simple, hence this blog post is a short one.

In order to create a new flavor mapping navigate to Infrastructure > Flavor Mappings.

Screenshot of VMware vRealize Automation 8 interface displaying the 'Flavor Mappings' section. The screen shows three flavor mapping options labeled 'large', 'medium', and 'small'. Each option includes buttons for 'Open' and 'Delete', and indicates the number of linked accounts or regions. The interface includes a navigation menu on the left and options to add a new flavor mapping at the top.

Click on [+ New Flavor Mapping] and provide the following information:

  • Flavor Name
  • Account / Region
  • Value
  • Memory
Screenshot of the 'New Flavor Mapping' form in VMware vRealize Automation 8. The form is designed to set up a new flavor mapping, with fields labeled 'Flavor name' and 'Configuration'. The flavor name entered is 'xlarge' and the configuration is set to an account and region 'SC labs / SCLABS'. There is also a field to specify the value, which is set to '4' with a unit of 'GB'. The interface includes 'Create' and 'Cancel' buttons at the bottom.
