Using the vCloud Automation Center Plug-In Infrastructure
Administration Workflows
You can use the infrastructure administration workflows to provision virtual machines and run basic or
CRUD operations. You use the extensibility package to customize vCloud Automation Center with the
ability to call vCenter Orchestrator workflows either as part of the provisioning process, or by using custom
operation menus.
You can find the infrastructure administration workflows on the Workflows view of the Orchestrator client,
in the Infrastructure Administration subdirectory of the plug-in library.
You can use the infrastructure administration workflows to provision virtual machines and run basic or
CRUD operations.
