Table 1‑1. Preparing Your Environment for vRealize Automation Integration (Continued)
Environment Preparations
Amazon AWS
Prepare elements and user roles in your
Amazon AWS environment for use in
vRealize Automation, and understand how
Amazon AWS features map to
vRealize Automation features. See
“Preparing Your Amazon AWS
Environment,” on page 17.
Red Hat OpenStack
If you want to leverage Red Hat OpenStack
to manage networking and security
features of machines provisioned with
vRealize Automation, prepare your
Red Hat OpenStack instance for
integration. See “Preparing Red Hat
OpenStack Network and Security
Features,” on page 22.
SCVMM
Congure storage, networking, and
understand template and hardware prole
naming restrictions. See “Preparing Your
SCVMM Environment,” on page 23.
External IPAM Providers Register an external IPAM provider
package or plug-in, run the conguration
workows, and register the IPAM solution
as a new vRealize Automation endpoint.
See “Checklist for Preparing External IPAM
Provider Support,” on page 14.
All other environments You do not need to make changes to your
environment. You can begin preparing for
machine provisioning by creating
templates, boot environments, or machine
images. See “Preparing for Machine
Provisioning,” on page 24.
Checklist for Preparing NSX Network and Security Configuration
Before you can use NSX network and security options in vRealize Automation, you must congure the
external NSX network and security environment that you intend to use.
Much of the vRealize Automation support for network and security conguration that you specify in
blueprints and reservations is congured externally and made available to vRealize Automation after data
collection is run on the compute resources.
For more information about the available network and conguration options that you can congure for
vRealize Automation, see “Conguring Network and Security Component Seings,” on page 281.
