Managing virtual application instances

Use the console to manage the virtual application instances in the cloud.

Deploying virtual applications from the Instances pane
After you create a virtual application, you can provision and deploy it to the cloud. You can deploy a given virtual application multiple times and each deployment is a running virtual application instance on the cloud infrastructure. You can deploy virtual applications from the Instances pane in the console.
Administering virtual application instances
Each deployment of a virtual application represents a running virtual application instance on the cloud environment. You can view and monitor deployed virtual application instances from the console.
Configuring SSH key-based access for virtual application instances
You can configure SSH key-based access for virtual application instances.
Configuring tracing for the workload agent
You can enable tracing for the workload agent process to assist with debugging and troubleshooting virtual applications. By default, only information level messages are recorded. When you need more detailed trace logs, you can enable all log levels.
Deleting virtual machines and reclaiming IP addresses
A virtual machine that is part of a virtual application instance can go into the Stopped state. In the Stopped state, the IP address that is allocated to that virtual machine remains in use and cannot be allocated to other virtual machines. If you no longer require the virtual machine, you can delete it.
Deleting a virtual application instance
You delete a virtual application instance when it is no longer needed.
Monitoring virtual application instances
You can monitor virtual application instances that are deployed in the cloud.
Viewing virtual application instance logs
You can view logs of virtual application instances.
