Once you have seen my previous blog <here> and all the pre-requisites are in place; it’s time to getting started with vRealize Automation Cloud.

Pre-Requisite for this blog step:

Configuring a New Project

Creating a New Image Mapping

The name “Image Mapping” is exactly what it means, it’s the fact where you can map a single Name into many different Cloud (hosting platforms) to the VM image (templates).

As example we could say:

Account / Cloud / Region…	Template / Image Name
vSphere On-Prem (Our Tests)	vSphere-CentOS-Template
MS Azure	OpenLogic:CentOS:7.5:latest
AWS	CentOS Linux 7

Understood and time to select at left side to create a new Image Mappings, Select: Configure > Image Mappings .

The mapping as explained priorly, linking an CentOS image to our On-Premise CentOS / Windows 2019 Template.

We are using for this blog post the vCenter On-Premise as Cloud end-point. Feel free to configure other end points and extra Image mappings, so you may deploy the blueprint later in many different environments using combination of tags.

Now, we have a new image mapping and we will be able to deploy soon our 1st blueprint into vRealize Automation Cloud or the vRealize Automation 8.1 On-Premise (if you are testing on it).

Let’s continue in setting up the vRealize Automation Cloud platform.
