Answer: To accomplish Task 3 as a Cloud Administrator, you would perform the following steps:

Create a new operating system image:

Log in to the vRealize Automation console using the Cloud Admin credentials.

Navigate to Design > Image Mappings and click New Image Mapping.

Enter the details for the new operating system image, including the name and the Account/Region.

Select the appropriate content library or image to use for the new image mapping12.

Create a new machine size (Flavor Mapping):

Go to Design > Flavor Mappings and click New Flavor Mapping.

Provide the configuration details for the new machine size, such as the number of CPUs and RAM size.

Assign the new flavor mapping to the vSphere Private Cloud account and the Local Datacenter region.

Add two new Cloud templates:

a. Import the first Cloud template:

Navigate to Design > Cloud Templates.

Click Import and select the provided file jupiter.yaml to import the Jupiter Ubuntu Server template.

b. Create the second Cloud template based on the imported Cloud Template:

After importing, clone the Jupiter Ubuntu Server template and rename it to Jupiter Cloned Server. Modify the cloned template to include input options for the operating system image and machine size.

Use the YAML code editor to add an inputs section where users can select the machine size and operating system image at deployment time34.

Ensure that the deployment uses the selected input values by referencing the input parameters in the resources section of the cloud template.

To review and compare any previous changes, utilize the version control features in Cloud Assembly to track changes made to the cloud template
