Deployment Architecture

The VMware Telco Cloud Automation implements the architecture that is outlined and defined at a high-level through logical building blocks and core components.

• vCenter Server is used for authenticating and signing in to VMware Telco Cloud Automation.
• VMware Telco Cloud Automation Control Plane (TCA-CP) is deployed on the VIM and paired with VMware Telco Cloud Automation Manager.
• VMware Telco Cloud Automation Manager connects with TCA-CP to communicate with the VIMs. The VIMs are cloud platforms such as VMware Cloud Director, vSphere, Kubernetes Clusters, VMware Integrated OpenStack, etc..
• VMware Aria Automation Orchestrator is registered with TCA-CP and is used to run Workflows. You can register for each VIM or for the entire network of VIMs. For information about registering VMware Aria Automation Orchestrator with TCA-CP, see VMware Telco Cloud Automation Deployment Guide.
• RabbitMQ is used to track VMware Cloud Director and VMware Integrated OpenStack notifications and is required only for deployments on these clouds.
