AWS Blueprint provisioning 30gb root drive

[Johnnyw463]

I am currently deploying servers into our AWS environment via an AWS Blueprint in vRA 7.3. 

In the 'Infrastructure' -> 'Administration' -> 'Instance Types' portion of vRA, I have defined the instance types to associate to my blueprints, as well as set their storage size. We are wanting to default all builds to have an 80gb root drive.

When I deply my blueprint, per my request, I do see the disk size being 80gb. But when I get into the AWS console, every build is building at 30gb. 

Is there something in AWS that I am missing causing this to happen?

vRA does not currently manage an AWS image primary volume, It will build the ec2 instance with what ever size disk the image was built with. The easiest way is to create your AMI's with an 80GB disk, this means all machine spun off will have that size. Additional disks are fine.

Hi all,

I am also interested in such a feature. It might not be a big deal since it is also possible from the AWS console during instance launch wizard:

So, might it be possible to add this, i.e. with a new custom property?

In general, I am wondering why this isn't possible yet since there are already related custom properties that allow to set the Volume Type and the IOPS.

Thanks and Best Regards,

Paul
