Implementing the Private Cloud Automation for VMware Cloud Foundation validated solution includes activating private cloud automation in your SDDC by deploying the vRealize Automation cluster with three nodes.
To implement and configure the use of VMware vRealize Automation for cloud automation services with the VMware Cloud Foundation™ platform, two alternative methods exist: by using the user interface of each component in the solution or by using open-source Terraform, Packer, and Microsoft PowerShell procedures. You can directly reuse these CLI commands by replacing the provided sample values with values from your VMware Cloud Foundation Planning and Preparation Workbook or adapt into your own Terraform modules
For information on the private cloud automation design, see Detailed Design for Private Cloud Automation for VMware Cloud Foundation.
