To enable users to more easily select the appropriate hardware profile, Abiquo 5.1 introduces hardware profile families and types. When the user selects a VM template to create a VM, they can filter the hardware profiles by family and type. The platform provides a helpful description of the family and the type. The user can choose to display only hardware profiles of the current generation.
After you upgrade Abiquo, select an account and synchronize hardware profiles for each public cloud region and datacenter to update their families and types. The hardware profile types are locked and synchronized from public cloud regions with hardware profiles, such as AWS and Azure. In datacenters and in vCloud regions, where hardware profiles are optional, the administrator can fully manage hardware profile families and types.
