Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a memory and a processor. The memory is configured to store a parent template including a plurality of designation conditions applicable to at least one virtual machine. The plurality of designation conditions include first designation conditions and second designation conditions. The processor is configured to create a child template for creating a virtual machine image to operate on a virtual machine. The child template is based on the parent template and includes at least one designation condition. The processor is configured to compare the at least one designation condition of the child template to the plurality of designation conditions stored in the memory. The processor is configured to display a result of the comparison.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a processor. The processor is configured to determine whether a communication is possible in a first segment, the first segment being defined between a communication unit that is provided in the first computing machine and communicates with the information processing apparatus, and a communication controller that is provided in the information processing apparatus and communicates with the service, determine whether a communication is possible in a second segment, the second segment being defined between the communication controller and one of a virtual machine provisioned in the first computing machine, an address of the service, and a second computing machine different from the first computing machine, and decide whether the service is available, a part of the service is available, or the service is unavailable, in accordance with a combination of a determination result for the first segment and a determination result for the second segment.
