The vRealize Automation virtual appliance includes the cloud management Web portal and database services. The vRealize Automation portal allows self-service provisioning and management of cloud services, as well as authoring blueprints, administration, and governance. The vRealize Automation virtual appliance uses an embedded PostgreSQL database for catalog persistence and database replication. The database is configured between two vRealize Automation appliances for high availability.
