vRealize Automation - vCloud Air Endpoint
• vCloud Air as an endpoint
– Having vCloud Air as an endpoint gives you the ability to provision and
manage infrastructure services within VMware Cloud offering
17
• In vRealize Automation 6.2, the vCloud Director® endpoint is now called
vCloud Air
– That endpoint is complete with a new field to allow administrators to supply a
proxy server to allow the system to reach the internet
18
Improved Operational Visibility

Integration Notes
• This integration only available with vRealize Automation 6.2 and future versions
• If the integration is enabled, tenant administrators will see the vRealize Operations
health badge for that machine in the item details screen
19
Enhanced Multi-Vendor Endpoint Support
• vSphere 6 (Q1-15)
• XenDesktop 7
• Enhancements to vCloud Air
– Proxy and pay as you go support (Q1-2015)
• OpenStack (Havana)
20
Enhanced Logging Supportability
21
• Designed to one-click and collect all logs from the vRealize Automation virtual
appliances and IaaS machines
– Package logs, and post them to the "Last collected..." link for an admin to download.
• Ease for admins to collect logs
– All vRealize Automation virtual appliance (VA) machines in a distributed environment
– Process can take quite some time to complete after clicking the Collect Logs button
vRealize Automation – Virtual Appliance High
Availability and Cluster Information
• Designed for distributed environments
– Improves manual work when multiple vRealize Automation virtual appliances
need to be deployed behind a load balancer
• Manages the following:
– Copying files from one VA to another and changing security on files
– Manually disabling services and editing configuration files
22
vRealize Automation Virtual Appliance – High
Availability Nodes List
• Lists all registered vRealize Automation nodes that make up the service
– If you have a DEM running that is registered, it will show up as IAAS even
though it only has that small piece installed on it
– Does not differentiate which types of IaaS services are installed on nodes listed
with a type of IAAS
23
vRealize Automation Virtual Appliance – Host
Settings
• Certificate page is removed and consolidated into the host settings
– View the current certificate, generate a new self-signed certificate, and import
a certificate from a PEM
– If you do not enter anything into the common name field when generating a
certificate, vRealize Automation will create the certificate using the machine
name automatically.
24
• New checks that will occur:
– Load balancer certificate
matches the local machine
certificate
– Certificate chain verification
– Certificate revocation list can
be accessed
• If it does not, a message
appears and the vRealize
Automation service will not be
able to start

vRealize Automation 6.2 - CloudClient Overview
• A Command-Line Utility
– Provides verb-based access with a unified interface across the vRealize
Automation APIs
• Including: Common Services, IaaS, Applications, VMware vRealize Orchestrator™
• Provides an Easy-to-Use Command-line Interface
– Designed for the IT administrator where scripting and CLI use is more
feasible than direct API calls
– Stable interface while underlying APIs can change over time
• Provides Common Security; Exception Handling
– JSON, CSV and tabular formatting
– File export; auto login for scripting (password and keyfiles); and auto-
generated documentation.
• Available as a Separate Download
– (Supports vRealize Automation 6.1)
27
vRealize Automation 6.2 - CloudClient Overview
(Continued)
• Accessible as a Command Prompt
– When running the script, users are able to run commands against vRealize
Automation
• Purpose of CloudClient
– Creates a layer of abstraction between the vRealize Automation functionality
and the end consumer
– Designed to increase the ease of which users are able to run automated
actions against vRealize Automation
– Generally, you would use this tool in the case of a northbound integration
with another interface or tool
• Not a REST or SOAP API, (Uses the vRealize Automation API instead)
– Reduces the chance that a customer would have to change their code with
a new release of vRealize Automation 6.2.x
– Only requires update of vRealize Automation and the CloudClient
• All interface commands would remain the same
• The CloudClient would be brokering the commands to the API as needed

“locked down”
• Examples include: existing database, LDAP Server, SSO
Server, or a SaaS application like Salesforce
• A custom external service includes advanced configuration
support through configuration scripts
• Supports multiple providers through provider
specifications – such as Data Director or Amazon RDS
• Examples include: database provisioned through Data
Director or F5 Load Balancer
• External services are instantiated in the deployment environment
and are modeled in the application blueprints
• Reduce time to deliver workload by connecting to an
external or existing service
• Improve operational efficiency and IT control through
standardized application blueprints that connect to
existing components in the organization – such as
databases, load balancers, or SaaS applications
Overview

blacklisted service is used in the blueprint node,
• Total Instance (VM) Count Limits – flags
violations by checking for total VM instance
count across all nodes in a deployment
• View overall compliance of a deployment along
with compliance status of each applicable policy
instance
• Better IT control and governance by adopting
preventive application provisioning policies
• Enforce and monitor compliance with IT
standards and regulatory policies

  • 17. vRealize Automation - vCloud Air Endpoint • vCloud Air as an endpoint – Having vCloud Air as an endpoint gives you the ability to provision and manage infrastructure services within VMware Cloud offering 17 • In vRealize Automation 6.2, the vCloud Director® endpoint is now called vCloud Air – That endpoint is complete with a new field to allow administrators to supply a proxy server to allow the system to reach the internet
  • 18. 18 Improved Operational Visibility View vRealize Operations health status in vRealize Automation displays In Admin Portal List Views In Item Details Understand the issues Impacting Health See the health of a machine
  • 19. vRealize Operations – vRealize Automation Integration Notes • This integration only available with vRealize Automation 6.2 and future versions • If the integration is enabled, tenant administrators will see the vRealize Operations health badge for that machine in the item details screen 19
  • 20. Enhanced Multi-Vendor Endpoint Support • vSphere 6 (Q1-15) • XenDesktop 7 • Enhancements to vCloud Air – Proxy and pay as you go support (Q1-2015) • OpenStack (Havana) 20
  • 21. Enhanced Logging Supportability 21 • Designed to one-click and collect all logs from the vRealize Automation virtual appliances and IaaS machines – Package logs, and post them to the "Last collected..." link for an admin to download. • Ease for admins to collect logs – All vRealize Automation virtual appliance (VA) machines in a distributed environment – Process can take quite some time to complete after clicking the Collect Logs button
  • 22. vRealize Automation – Virtual Appliance High Availability and Cluster Information • Designed for distributed environments – Improves manual work when multiple vRealize Automation virtual appliances need to be deployed behind a load balancer • Manages the following: – Copying files from one VA to another and changing security on files – Manually disabling services and editing configuration files 22
  • 23. vRealize Automation Virtual Appliance – High Availability Nodes List • Lists all registered vRealize Automation nodes that make up the service – If you have a DEM running that is registered, it will show up as IAAS even though it only has that small piece installed on it – Does not differentiate which types of IaaS services are installed on nodes listed with a type of IAAS 23
  • 24. vRealize Automation Virtual Appliance – Host Settings • Certificate page is removed and consolidated into the host settings – View the current certificate, generate a new self-signed certificate, and import a certificate from a PEM – If you do not enter anything into the common name field when generating a certificate, vRealize Automation will create the certificate using the machine name automatically. 24 • New checks that will occur: – Load balancer certificate matches the local machine certificate – Certificate chain verification – Certificate revocation list can be accessed • If it does not, a message appears and the vRealize Automation service will not be able to start
