In this step, you create a cloud zone to specify a compute resource that the CloudAdmin user can access when working with VMware Cloud on AWS in VMware Aria Automation.
In VMware Cloud on AWS, the two primary administrator credentials are CloudGlobalAdmin and CloudAdmin. Automation Assembler is designed to support the CloudAdmin user. Deploy to resources that are available to a VMware Cloud on AWS CloudAdmin user. Do not deploy to resources that require VMware Cloud on AWS CloudGlobalAdmin credentials.
Cloud zones identify the compute resources onto which a project cloud template deploys machines, networks, and storage. See Learn more about Automation Assembler cloud zones.
Unless otherwise indicated, the step values that you enter in this procedure are for this example workflow only.
