Decommissioning a Container
When you decommission a container, the following happens:
All of the VMs within the container are turned off
All of the VMs are then deleted
Finally, the vApp itself is deleted
Viewing VMs Within Containers from My Servers
1.
Go to My Cloud > My Servers.
2.
Scroll to find the VM you are interested in.
Note
: Any VM with a VMware vCloud Director icon in the VM column is a VM within a vApp container.
You can do anything with container VMs that you can with other VMs using the gear icon
⚙
.
In addition, you can clone the VMs within a vApp to another vApp.
vApp Container Pricing
A vApp is basically a container. A vApp template will contain one or more VMs. Pricing is done per VM. So, for example
you might have an XS (extra small) VM set at $20, an S (small) VM set at $25, and so on. (You may have noticed just now
that Cisco IAC uses “tee shirt sizes” for VMs.)

that Cisco IAC uses “tee shirt sizes” for VMs.)
So, for any given vApp template in use, Cisco IAC has no way of knowing the sizes and amounts for the VMs contained
within it. Therefore, for pricing within vApps, charges are for the full container, rather than for individual VMs.
