Create a SingleBP in Calm

   • Project: <DMC3-POCxx_your_initials>
   • Environment: <DMC3-POCxx_your_initials>

   Click VM details to proceed to the next step.

4. Name your blueprint with your initials e.g - <your_initials_BP>. In addition, as we are creating a CentOS machine,please ensure the displayed operating system shows "Linux". To proceed, click VM configuration.

You will also notice that there is a Clone from environment button beside Preset VM Config where you can inherit all vm settings from what you have define in your environment. In this exercise we will learn how to make further customization to it.

        ssh-authorized-keys:
          - @@{cred_os.public_key}@@
