Tag : VRealize Automation Cloud

Written by Christopher Lewis on April 8, 2020 .

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:

  1. Use native REST API
  2. 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. However, as I have been waiting for an opportunity to get some hands on time with Terraform I decided this was a good reasons to look at the VMware Terraform Provider for vRealize Automation 8 !!

Purpose

One of the recurring themes I hear when talking to people in the community but also when talking to customers there is a perception that vRealize Automation 8.0 does not have an Anything as a Service (XaaS) capability. This is not true and hopefully the following article will paint a clearer picture of what vRealize Automation 8.0 can actually do in this space.

Background

What is vRealize Automation 8.0?

VMware released its new Multi-Cloud Automation platform, vRealize Automation (vRA) 8.0, just before VMworld 2019 Europe in November 2019.
