Examples

Example-1: Configure a Virtual KVM policy with default settings and tunneled access enabled.

compute:
  intersight:
    organizations:
      - name: MyOrg
        policies:
          virtual_kvm:
            - name: MyKvmPolicy
              enabled: true
              tunneled_kvm: true
              tags:
                - key: env
                  value: prod

Example-2: Configure a restrictive KVM policy allowing only one session with encryption enforced.

compute:
  intersight:
    organizations:
      - name: MyOrg
        policies:
          virtual_kvm:
            - name: RestrictedKvmPolicy
              enabled: true
              maximum_sessions: 1
              video_encryption: true
              local_server_video: false
              tunneled_kvm: false
