Using VMware Aria Automation with Google Cloud VMware Engine

This procedure describes how to set up VMware Aria Automation to work with a Google Cloud VMware Solution self-service hybrid cloud environment so that you can use VMware Aria Automationworkloads within this environment.

VMware Aria Automation supports connections with Google Cloud VMware Engine (GCVE) to move and run VMware workloads on Google Cloud. GCVE was created by Google to support interface with VMware environments.

Use of GCVE is well documented by Google. You can find the documentation here:

• Google Cloud VMware Engine - https://cloud.google.com/vmware-engine/docs

To use GCVE with VMware Aria Automation, you must set up both vCenter and NSX-T cloud accounts in VMware Aria Automation. See the following documentation for setting up these cloud accounts:

• Set up vCenter cloud account - Create a basic vCenter cloud account in VMware Aria Automation
• Create an NSX-T cloud account - Create an NSX-T cloud account in VMware Aria Automation

Note: You must deploy a cloud proxy on the GCVE SDDC to support the vCenter and NSX-T cloud accounts. See Setting up cloud accounts in Automation Assembler that require a cloud proxy for more information.

The following procedure outlines the high level steps to configure your environment so that you can deploy VMware Aria Automation workloads on GCVE.

1. Install and configure Google Cloud VMware Engine based on the vendor instructions as appropriate for your environment.
2. Create vCenter and NSX-T cloud accounts within your VMware Aria Automation deployment.
