Integrating VMware Aria Automation Orchestrator with VMware Cloud Director

You integrate VMware Aria Automation Orchestrator with VMware Cloud Director through the VMware Cloud Director Service Provider Admin Portal.

Integrating VMware Aria Automation Orchestrator with VMware Cloud Director extends the base functionality of VMware Cloud Director by allowing service provider administrators to develop complex automation tasks through workflow orchestration and utilization of third-party plug-ins.

Through the VMware Cloud Director Service Provider Admin Portal, service provider administrators are able to view, import, and execute workflows from registered VMware Aria Automation Orchestrator server instances.

In the VMware Cloud Director Service Provider Admin Portal, VMware Aria Automation Orchestrator workflows can be published to service providers or tenants, allowing for quick access control and execution of both custom and built-in services.

VMware Aria Automation Orchestrator has an extensive workflow library that contains pre-built tasks designed to solve specific challenges and perform common administrative tasks. Third-party plug-ins are also available at VMware Solution Exchange.

Starting with VMware Cloud Director 10.3, a vRO Workflow Execution UI plug-in is installed as part of VMware Cloud Director. The plug-in is enabled and published by default for service providers. To enable the plug-in for use by tenants, a system administrator must publish it to either a single tenant or to all tenants. For more information, see Managing Plug-Ins.
