The administrator can specify which virtual machine categories and types of modifications require approval through a change request. For example, an organization might require project manager approval before a user can extend the lease end date or change the state of a development server. Change request approvals created in this manner are independent of the approvals required by the user who provisions and manages the virtual resources being requested. The cloud administrator can configure change control for these actions performed on a virtual machine: Extend the duration of a lease Start a virtual machine Stop a virtual machine Terminate a virtual machine Pause a virtual machine Modify the specifications of a VMware server Take a snapshot Revert to a snapshot Roles Required Members of these groups can configure change control for virtual machine modifications: Virtual Provisioning Cloud Administrators Virtual Provisioning Cloud Operators Configuring change conditionsCloud Management uses preconfigured condition builders to determine if a change request is required for specific user requests, such as those for state changes or memory increases.Editing change conditionsYou can edit existing change conditions to create different approval conditions.Creating a change request for a VMYou can request a change, such as additional memory, for example, for a VMware virtual machine.
