One of the challenges that faces a vRealize Automation content developer is maintaining code between multiple environment. In most cases, this is done manually and can become a tedious task that is prone to error. Further, the use of proper source control, testing and release management can become impossible. With vRealize Lifecycle Manager 8.3+, VMware has developed a solution with Content Management. This lab will leverage vRealize Lifecycle Manager to deploy content between two separate vRealize Automation Environments. Each module will build on the processes to capture, test, and release content between a development and production instance.

It's no secret that integrating tools and infrastructure platforms is creating complexity for modern enterprises. More tools = More complexity = More Custom Coding to Automate Processes OneFuse facilitates and simplifies end-to-end automation by abstracting underlying integration complexity and presenting varying cloud infrastructure integrations as services that can be re-used again and again. OneFuse policies ensure governance conformity and reduce the need for domain or coding expertise. WWT offers hands-on OneFuse training labs to help customers learn how to easily automate in codeless fashion.

In this lab, we will leverage multiple components to automate the deployment of a CentOS VM to either vCenter, VCF, AWS or Azure. You will have the choice to utilizing ServiceNow or the vRA Service Broker to perform the deployment. Further, we will leverage the vRA Ansible Core integration to do post deployment setup and configuration of a MySQL database, utilize PowerShell ABX code to perform custom resource and deployment naming, vRO with custom PowerShell scripting to accomplish MS DNS record handling, and lastly InfoBlox for our IP address management.
