# Create a Workflow - AMD SEV-SNP

## 1.0 Introduction

This article describes the steps to create workflows in Fortanix Confidential Computing Manager (CCM) for Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) Secure Encrypted Virtualization (SEV) - Secure Nested Paging (SNP).

There are three types of workflows: **Draft**, **Pending**, and **Final**.

- **Draft** workflows: Draft workflows are in-progress workflows that are still under development. These workflows have not been submitted for approval.
- **Pending** workflows: Pending workflows represent workflows that have been submitted for approval but have not yet received approval from all required users.
- **Final** workflows: Final workflows are approved and versioned workflows protected by quorum approval. Once approved, the workflow can be deployed.

To convert a **Draft** workflow into a **Final** workflow, approvals are required from the users participating in the workflow.

The Application Owner builds the workflow graph. Once the workflow graph is complete, the Administrator submits it for approval. A workflow graph must be approved by all participating users before it becomes a Final workflow.

## 2.0 Create a Workflow

Perform the following steps to create a workflow:

1. In the CCM UI left navigation panel, click the **Workflows** menu item.
2. On the **Workflows** page, click **+ ADD WORKFLOW** to create a new workflow.

3. On the **WORKFLOW** form:
  1. **Name**: Enter a name for the workflow.
  2. **Group**: Select the group for the shared workflow. If you do not select a group, Fortanix CCM uses the default group.
  3. Click **SAVE** to create the workflow.
4. Add an application to the workflow graph. Drag the Application icon from the component panel and drop it into the graph area.
5. Click **ADD APPLICATION**. In the **APPLICATION** form, select the AMD SEV-SNP application image and its corresponding application configuration.

*For more information on creating an application, refer to* [*Add and Edit an Application*](/v1/docs/users-guide-add-and-edit-an-application-1)*.*
6. After the workflow is completed, click **SAVE AND REQUEST APPROVAL** to initiate the workflow approval process.

> [!WARNING]
> WARNING
> 
> When a draft workflow is submitted for approval, it is removed from the **Drafts** list. The workflow cannot be edited while it is in the **Pending** or **Approved** state.
7. The workflow remains in a pending state until it receives approval. In the **Pending** menu item, click **VIEW REQUEST** to approve a Workflow.
8. In the **APPROVAL REQUEST FOR CREATING WORKFLOW** dialog box, click **APPROVE**.
9. Navigate to the workflow application in Fortanix CCM and copy the **Runtime configuration hash** from the **Application** dialog box.
