Provisioned VM in vRA 7

[RanjnaAggarwal]

This screenshot is taken from vRA 7 Items tab, i just want to understand what exactly this object is, for whom i added question mark in the screenshot?

Hello Ranjna,

That object is the Deployment. Since a blueprint can have multiple machines and other components attached to it, they are now grouped under a Deployment. It makes more sense for multi machine blueprints.

This deploymen has one number, Is this UUID of this deployment?

[darrenoid]

No, it's not the uuid of the deployment, it is the deployment name. The numbers added at the end just make sure there are unique deployment names. The actual UUID of the deployment is a larger string in the database. It looks like:

92bacb0b-425b-468b-81a6-1091a982a1df

Here is a look at one of my deployments in the appliance database:

vcac=# select * from cat_resource where name like '%31033423';
