Libraries and Templates: Profiles

VM Templates

Service Templates– Used to model a multi-tier application– Source of truth for deployed service

configurationTemplate Servicing– Change the template and then apply that

change to deployed instances– Upgrade domains ensures application

availability during servicing

Private Cloud: Overview

Read-only Admin

Private Cloud: Self-Service User Roles

Delegated Admin

VMM Admin

Self-Service User

Exploring Clouds and Self-Service Users

Demo

Private Cloud Usage Scenario

Configure the fabric (servers, network, storage)

Create a cloud from the fabric

Delegate the cloud to a Self Service User

Self Service User creates VMs and Services in the cloud
