VMware Aria Automation supports plug-in based resources for Microsoft Azure. You can create plug-in based virtual machines, networks, disks, storage accounts, and more. The Azure account that you use with classic resources can also be used to provision plug-in based resources.
Using plug-in based resources to build your infrastructure allows for faster access to Azure resources and properties as they become available. You can also use allocation helpers with plug-in based Azure resources in your cloud templates.
You can deploy resources in all regions regardless of the ones specified in the cloud account. These are taken into account only when using allocation helpers.
You provision plug-in based Azure resources using Automation Assembler templates, and you deploy those templates in the typical manner using the Automation Assembler Design tab functionality. After you deploy a template, you can check your Azure portal to confirm that the resource was provisioned successfully.
