ServiceNow + vRA 8.x + Ansible Lab: Multicloud DBaaS Provisioning and Custom Naming
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.

Key Takeaways From VMware EMPOWER 2022
VMware held their annual EMPOWER for the Americas in May of 2022. The three day virtual partner conference consisted of general/breakout sessions, "ask the expert" sessions, hands-on labs and technical training.
All the sessions were available to VMware partners online, but there are often themes and details that get lost along the way. So, we asked WWT's VMware technical experts what they found most interesting from EMPOWER. Here is what they had to say.
Cloud Management Platforms Briefing
Customers want a hybrid cloud, but they do not have a clear blueprint to succeed. Cloud management platforms help create a "single pane of glass" that encompasses automation, brokerage, lifecycle and governance.
VMware vRealize Automation (vRA) Briefing
VMware vRealize Automation (vRA) helps customers accelerate the adoption, consumption and utilization of Software-Defined Data Center. In addition, integrate leading public cloud providers to provide a consistent user experience, governance and consumable services.
vRealize Lifecycle Manager With Content Management Briefing
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 VMware vRealize Lifecycle Manager, VMware has developed a solution with Content Management.
VMware vRealize Automation Multi-Tenancy Briefing
vRealize Automation enables IT providers to set up multiple tenants, or organizations, within each deployment. Providers can set up multiple tenant organizations and allocate infrastructure within each deployment. Providers can also manage users for tenants. Each tenant manages its own projects, resources and deployments.
