Virtual Machine Deployment Configuration

Virtual machines are less flexible than containers but still offer control over deployment configuration. Below are the configuration settings and explanations.

Constraints

The constraints form has two way to tag virtual machine instances:

FieldDescription
Tags AnyA list of tags for the vm. If a server matches any tag in the list, that server becomes a viable candidate for the vms.
Tags AllA list of tags for the vm. A server must match every tag on the list in order to become a viable candidate for the vms.

Startup Policy

A delay, in a time string (ex: 1h30m24s), that Cycle will wait before sending the start signal to this vm upon start.

Shutdown Policy

Information on how Cycle should handle a shutdown signal.

Graceful Timeout - A time string (ex: 1h30m24s) the platform will wait for a vm to stop gracefully.

Telemetry

Settings for to collect telemetry data.

FieldDescription
RetentionA time string (ex: 1h30m24s) for how long the platform will retain telemetry for a given instance.
IntervalA time string (ex: 1h30m24s) that represents how much time each telemetry report will cover.
Disable TelemetryIf checked, this will disable all telemetry reporting for this virtual machine.
