Advanced Service
Service architects can map vRealize Orchestrator objects to custom resources and vRealize Orchestrator
workflows to service blueprints in vRealize Automation. They can then publish the service blueprints as
catalog items and combine the items into an advanced service. Tenant administrators or business group
managers can display the service to the catalog of the consumers by creating an entitlement. When the
consumers request a catalog item, vRealize Automation runs a vRealize Orchestrator workflow and
provisions the custom resource.
