Provision with VMware Aria Automation

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Use the defined Cloud Template in the VMware Aria Automation OneFuse Policy to provision and deprovision vRA Deployments and their resources in your VMware Aria Automation instance.

License required

This module requires the Aria Automation License in order to execute a policy to provision or deprovision vRA Cloud Templates. vRA Policies, Endpoints, and Module Credentials can be created without a license.

Setup overview

Create an Aria Automation Policy.
Execute your Aria Automation Policy using the OneFuse API or an Upstream Provider:
1. Call the OneFuse vRA module from Terraform.
2. Call the OneFuse vRA module from Aria Automation 8.1+.

Highlights

Consume VMware Aria Automation Cloud Templates via API or a supported Upstream Provider.
Drive “Blueprints-as-a-Service” dynamically: specify the Cloud Template/Blueprint by name, version, input parameters, and which user will own the deployed resources.
Centralized visibility: view the active deployment representing the resource(s) and relevant data of each policy execution.

Next steps

Now that you have executed an Aria Automation Policy using the API or an Upstream Provider, track your deployments in OneFuse.
