vRealize Automation is the management component in the on-premises SDDC infrastructure for deploying blueprints and applications. You can use your on-premises vRealize Automation deployment with your SDDC on VMware Cloud on AWS.

You can configure the SDDC on VMware Cloud on AWS as a deployment endpoint for vRealize Automation, so that all deployment actions take place over the management VPN. The configuration includes creating an infrastructure endpoint and a fabric group with the following details:

Design Implication

SDDC-VMC-CMP-001

Create a vSphere endpoint to the SDDC on VMware Cloud on AWS.

vSphere endpoints and vCenter Server instances in each region have one-to-one relationship. You use an endpoint for each region.

As you add more SDDCs on VMware Cloud on AWS as regions, you must add more vSphere endpoints.
