VRA7 - Hiding Instances, CPU, Memory from user request

[Avrham]

In IaaS blueprint, How can I hide the default values (Instances, CPU & Memory) from user request?

I control those properties later with Event Broker and VCO Workflow.

There isn't a form builder as such that allows you to do this yet. For now, you would need to build an XaaS wrapper to request the item and only expose the fields that you want to users to interact with.

Grant, can you provide a link to documentation or maybe a tutorial or blog post on how to "build an XaaS wrapper to request the item"?

I am also interested in developing such a wrapper. In our environment, we would like to somehow limit the maximum number of deployments.

Alright, will get a guide together on this.

Hi Grant,

We did build an XaaS wrapper, yet by doing that we found more and more functionality we need to handle within the code instead of OOB when using IaaS (IE, on behalf, machine status etc').

Eventually we decided to make the size "fix" for each blue print and all the rest to be dynamic from with lists (templates, vlan, etc').

Is there any way to hide the cpu and memory without form builder? maybe by changing blueprint configuration file?

BR, Avi.

I am also interested in that wrapper. I would like to hide or clean up the forms in IAAS blueprints.
