To run a script at the time a virtual resource is provisioned, map the script to an OS profile. To run a post-provisioning script, create a blueprint and specify the script in the Execute Script operation. See [Example: Post-provision cloud script](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/brazil/markdown/it-operations-management/cloud-configuration-governance/create-cloud-init-script-example.md) for an example.
