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.

<div class="alert alert-info" role="alert"><div class="h4 alert-heading" role="heading">License required</div>


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.
</div>


## Setup overview

1. [Create an Aria Automation Policy](/docs/onefuse/configure/modules/vmware-aria-automation/policy/#create-an-aria-automation-policy).
2. Execute your Aria Automation Policy using the [OneFuse API](https://app.swaggerhub.com/apis-docs/cloudbolt/OneFuse/) or an [Upstream Provider](/docs/onefuse/consume/what-is-upstream-provider/):
   1. Call the OneFuse vRA module from [Terraform](/docs/onefuse/consume/hashicorp-terraform/modules/vmware-aria-automation/).
   1. Call the OneFuse vRA module from [Aria Automation 8.1+](/docs/onefuse/consume/vmware-aria-automation/aria-automation-8x/modules/aria-automation/).

## 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](/docs/onefuse/configure/modules/vmware-aria-automation/tracking-deployments/).
