Using vRealize Automation with Google Cloud VMware Engine

This procedure describes how to set up vRealize Automation to work with a Google Cloud VMware Solution self-service hybrid cloud environment so that you can use vRealize Automationworkloads within this environment.

vRealize Automation supports connections with Google Cloud VMware Engine (GCVE) to move and run VMware workloads on Google Cloud. GCVE was created by Google to support interface with VMware environments.

Use of GCVE is well documented by Google. You can find the documentation here:

• Google Cloud VMware Engine - https://cloud.google.com/vmware-engine/docs

To use GCVE with vRealize Automation, you must set up both vCenter and NSX-T cloud accounts in vRealize Automation. See the following documentation for setting up these cloud accounts:

• Set up vCenter cloud account - Create a vCenter cloud account in vRealize Automation
• Create an NSX-T cloud account - Create an NSX-T cloud account in vRealize Automation

The following procedure outlines the high level steps to configure your environment so that you can deploy vRealize Automation workloads on GCVE.

1. Install and configure Google Cloud VMware Engine based on the vendor instructions as appropriate for your environment.
2. Create vCenter and NSX-T cloud accounts within your vRealize Automation deployment.
