Create a project to support VMware Cloud on AWS deployments in VMware Aria Automation

In this step, you define a VMware Aria Automation project that can be used to control which resources are available for VMware Cloud on AWS deployments.

For information about projects, see How do Automation Assembler projects work at deployment time.

Unless otherwise indicated, the step values that you enter in this procedure are for this example workflow only.
