Virtual Machines managed by VMware Aria Automation are associated with VMware Aria Automation cloud zones.
Each cloud zone resides on a VMware Aria Automation compute resource that is associated with a VMware Aria Automation cloud account. Based on that, the managed machines can be organized in different groups:
- managed machines provisioned on the failed vCenter site.
- managed machines provisioned on vCenter sites unaffected by the disaster event.
- managed machines provisioned on other cloud accounts, such as Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform, Microsoft Azure, VMware Cloud Foundation, and so on.
After the disaster event, VMware Aria Automation can continue to manage machines provisioned on the failed vCenter site. See Configure workload mobility in VMware Aria Automation.
The VMware Aria Automation-managed machines provisioned on vCenter sites unaffected by the disaster event or machines provisioned in the cloud (Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform, Microsoft Azure, VMware Cloud Foundation, and so on) don’t require any additional steps.
