When you add a blueprint operation to a resource, the system adds the appropriate
attributes. You can choose whether or not to make the attributes available as catalog properties
on the form when the system performs the operation.

## Common attributes for the provisioning operation for virtual machines {#blueprint-attributes__section_cyw_f5x_t1b}

{#blueprint-attributes__table_zlv_h5x_t1b__entry__2}

| Attribute | Description |
|-|-|
| VmFolderName | The name of the virtual machine folder. |
| ResourceGroupName | The name of the resource group to which the resource belongs. |
| StackName | The name of the stack that the user is provisioning. |
| CloudAccount | The cloud account to which the resource stack belongs. |
| OSProfile | The resource profile, in this case the Operating System profile, upon which the cloud resource is based. |
| DiscoverAndAttachIP | Finds a free elastic IP and assigns it to a virtual machine on AWS. By default, if a VM is deployed on a VPC in AWS, it will not get a public IP. If elastic IPs are not available, no IP can be assigned to the VM. |
