VirtualMachine node

A VirtualMachine node represents a VM container running on a Host or in the Cloud. This refers to containers in the sense that a virtual machine contains a virtual host or hosts, rather than in the sense of Containers in container runtime systems or cloud computing. A single node may represent an elastic group of virtual machines. 

The following section describes the scenarios in which a VirtualMachine node is created or removed. DDD nodes are never updated.

VirtualMachine node lifecycle

The following section describes the scenarios in which a VirtualMachine node is created or removed.

Creation

The lifecycle of a VirtualMachine node depends upon the details of the pattern that maintains it. This is determined by a combination of the pattern trigger condition, whether the pattern specifies an explicit key for the Virtual Machine and the logic contained in the pattern itself. In all cases, if a pattern is deleted, the VirtualMachine nodes it is maintaining are immediately removed (as are all other nodes it might be maintaining).

Patterns can trigger on a Directly Discovered Data node, see Directly Discovered Data Trigger. They can also trigger or on the creation or modification of other VirtualMachine nodes.

A VirtualMachine node is created by the cloud patterns when a cloud scan takes place.

Removal

VirtualMachine nodes created as a result of Virtual Machine triggers are removed using the Cascade removal type; when the triggering VirtualMachine node is removed, the removal is cascaded to the higher-level VirtualMachine node. See Cascade Removal.

The VirtualMachine node can not be automatically removed, by default. If the node is removed, then all the content underneath is also destroyed. 

To remove a VirtualMachine node manually, find the necessary Virtual Machine, select it in the list and pick Destroy from the Actions list.
