Existing Aria Automation users can configure and use the Cloud Consumption Interface (CCI) to leverage DevOps Kubernetes deployment features based on their vSphere install base.
Existing VMware Aria Automation cloud administrators can also enable the Cloud Consumption Interface for their users. Typically, these administrators will have begun to move some of their vSphere install base to vSphere+ and are ready to try CCI. They do not need to use the vSphere+ Developer Experience feature to set up CCI functionality. Instead, they have access to the CCI UI pages in Automation Service Broker by default, and they can use the Automation Assembler UI and API to set up infrastructure required to support CCI. They can create and manage projects in Automation Assembler, and they can configure a cloud connected vCenter cloud account that enables them to quickly connect to the desired vCenter that they can then use with CCI. Then they can use the CCI CLI to create regions and assign supervisors to regions using the CCL CLI. The read-only admin UI pages in Automation Service Broker and Automation Assembler enable users to view Supervisor Namespace classes, projects, and regions ,
The following table outlines the components that an existing VMware Aria Automation user must configure to set up CCI and the options, UI or CLI , that can be used to complete the component configuration.
