Relationships between Application (deployment) and VM's (VMware Virtual Machine Instance)???

[draymond10]

Is there a way to show these relationships in vRA?  Ideally, we'd want all the networks and associated items that come along with the deployment to fall under a parent/child relationship.

There is no relationship mapped between these two in schema. Hence this relationship is not visible in snow.  Please share about type of blueprint used for deployment.

Standard IaaS blueprints - multiple vSphere VMs  is a simple answer to this....however it can get more complex with Software Components on the vSphere VMs, NSX integration w/ On-demand Load Balancers or NSX tags/security groups

Yes, for multi machine blueprints, it is always good to have such relationship, but our present CMDB mapping is in primary stage. Primary intention was to provide day-2 operations for deployment and VMs, tracks them as CI in ServiceNow. Presently there is no relation maintained between deployment and VM.
