Configure an Automation Orchestrator integration in Automation Assembler

You can configure one or more VMware Aria Automation Orchestrator integrations, so that you can use workflows as part of extensibility and cloud templates.

VMware Aria Automation includes a preconfigured embedded Automation Orchestrator instance. You can access the client of the embedded Automation Orchestrator from the VMware Aria Automation Cloud Services Console.

Note: You can access the Control Center of the embedded Automation Orchestrator by navigating to https://your_VMware-Aria-Automation_FQDN/vco-controlcenter and logging in as root.

You can also integrate an external Automation Orchestrator instance for use in your VMware Aria Automation extensibility subscriptions and XaaS (Anything as a Service) operations used for cloud templates.
