Overview of Creating Provisioning Policies

< overview | provisioning policy create workflow

Creating a provisioning policy involves several sections which you must follow in order. Key points for each section are described below:

Provisioning Policy Create Details

Details

  • Identification and Description: Clear and descriptive names enable your team to quickly understand the provisioning policy's purpose and configuration details.
  • Cloud Provider Configuration: Select the cloud provider (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP) to which the policy applies. The policy will be enforced only for clusters provisioned by that provider.

Policy Settings
