Deploying Instances

In Cloud Manager, instances are objects used to control and manage deployed virtual machines. Each instance represents a cloud-based VM. Existing instances can be brought into Cloud Manager from your preferred cloud service provider or they can be generated based on VDI/DaaS models defined in Cloud Manager.

In this section we'll teach you how to define VDI/DaaS models using the Cloud Manager built-in blueprint and how to deploy instances using the defined models. The built-in blueprint contains predetermined VM parameters, making it a shortcut to quickly get you started with your virtual environment.
