Database View: view_cloud_aliases

The csv2_cloud_aliases table allows users to create subsets of clouds within a CSV2 group and limit the execution of specific jobs to specific clouds by use of the target_alias Job Description Lanuage (JDL) parameter. An alias may contain one or more clouds and each cloud may be the member of zero, one, or more aliases. Job’s specifying a target alias will be limited to clouds which are members of the specified alias, whereas jobs not specifying a target alias are free to execute on any available cloud within the CSV2 group.

This view presents the alias definitions in the csv2_cloud_aliases table in a form suitable for the VM scheduler and for presentation in the user interface.

Columns:

• group_name (String(32)):

  Is the name of the CSV2 group that owns the alias.

• alias_name (String(32)):

  Is the unique name (within the group) of the alias.

• clouds (String):

  Is a comma separated list of cloud names associated with the alias name. Each cloud within the alias is also defined within the group.
