In this series of posts, we will be taking a look at how to configure a Multi-Organization Tenancy (aka Multi-Tenancy) in vRealize Automation (vRA) 8.x. In this post, I will tackle the management of User Directories in a vRA 8.x Multi-Organizational Tenancy deployment. Specifically, we will look at: Migrating a User Directory from the Provider Tenant into the Customer Tenant. Adding a new User Directory to the Customer Tenant using VMware Identity Manager.

Have you ever wanted to go to VMworld and never had the travel or budget approved? Well, unless you have been in cryogenic stasis for the last 6 months (and if you were, maybe you were better off), then you will know that VMworld 2020 is going to be VERY different this year. It is a single GLOBAL event, on 29th September - 1st October 2020. It is VIRTUAL. It is FREE.

Introduction In this series of posts, we will be taking a look at how to configure a Multi-Organization Tenancy (aka Multi-Tenancy) in vRealize Automation (vRA) 8.x. Scenario/Background For this series, we will assume that vRealize Automation 8.x has been deployed and is working. What we need to do is create three new Organizations/Tenants, one for MedTech, one for FinTech and one for SciTech. We will lay the ground work for all three tenants, but will only work throught the creation of the first tenant MedTech.

I tend to rebuild my vRealize Automation (vRA) labs ALOT. I am currently lucky and have two environments, my vRA 8 homelab and my vRA Cloud org. I wanted a way to provide a consistent configuration to both environments. I had two options open in front of me: Use native REST API Use the Terraform Provider for vRA 8/Cloud As vRA 8 / Cloud is an API first platform, I could have definitely used the native API to complete the configuration I am looking to do.
