To create a new blueprint:
- Click the Infrastructure button.
- Click the Environments List tab from the left menu and select the environment for which you want to capture a snapshot. Note that the environment needs to be active.
- Click the Snapshot button at the top right, as shown below:
The following is displayed:
- Select the Publish to the default environment blueprint option.
Alternatively, select the Publish to a new blueprint option, which will create a new blueprint and save the snapshot there.
Note: A blueprint can contain up to five snapshots.
