Can I create a lease or timeout on an Application or VM? | Nutanix Community
Skip to main content

Back in my VMware vRA days, we could set VMs to expire and delete themselves after a set period of time, called a Lease. This prevented test VMs lasting too long and using up resources unnecessarily. The default was seven days, and it could be extended or set as desired by the users if a VM was needed for longer. Is there a way to configure a similar mechanism in CALM/Self Service?

Hello @mcascone 

From PC, you can use playbooks, set trigger “time” for example, or any trigger you want.

Then you can try set action “IP address ssh” for example, or any trigger you want.
