Hosts that support the Host interface of a resource block are potential hosts for the resource block. You use the Host interface setting to further limit the options that are
presented to the stack requester while selecting a host type.

## Before you begin

Role required: admin

## Procedure

1. In the Cloud Admin Portal, navigate to DesignResource Blocks.
2. Select the resource block and then select Draft on the Resource Blocks form: ![Draft.]()
3. In the Host Resource related list, click New.  
   On the Resource Host form, the Application and the Guest Resource (the resource block that you are currently configuring) are already specified.
4. Specify the Host Resource.  
   For example, for a virtual server, you might select AWS Datacenter or Azure Datacenter as potential host types.
5. Click Submit.
