Appliance mappings are configured within Environments to map to specific service provider virtual appliance images. During deployment of a blueprint, an appliance node is mapped to the correct image provided by the service provider.

The appliance image may be a service provider image, or a custom image which has been uploaded to the service provider.

As appliance images are unique to each region, Appliance mappings must be mapped within each service provider region that the appliance is planned to be used in.

This article describes the steps required to map virtual appliances. Refer to the article Managing Appliances for detailed steps in creating and removing Appliances.
