Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for capturing data parameters in templates in a networked computing environment, comprising: receiving, in a computer memory medium, an initial request from a first requester to provision at least one virtual resource in the networked computing environment; receiving a set of values for a set of input parameters from first requester; receiving an indication that the set of values are to be saved in a template for provisioning by a second requester; evaluating each of the set of values to determine whether a set of policies applies to the set of values, the set of policies comprising at least one security policy; applying the set of policies to the set of values based on the evaluating; determining, based on the applying of the set of policies, at least one data capture action of a plurality of data capture actions, said plurality of data capturing actions comprising encrypt, do not save, and randomize; saving the set of values, according to the at least one determined data capture action, as a typed and named template for provisioning the template by a second requester; receiving a subsequent request, using the template name, from the second requester to provision the virtual resource; presenting the second requester with a set of templates; receiving a selection of the template from the set of templates by the second requester; and provisioning the at least one virtual resource using the set of values in the template.
