How to configure all aspects of VMs in the hybrid cloud platform, including CPU, RAM, remote access, network, storage, backups, bootstrap scripts, firewalls, Chef, load balancers, metrics, alarms, and variables.


This page describes how to configure VMs in detail. Before you read this page, you may like to work through Manage Virtual Machines to help you get started working with VMs. After you add your VMs to a virtual appliance, you can configure the VMs before deployment or reconfigure after deployment. Each of these configuration topics is also available as a separate page.
