Advanced Service Designer Basics
By using Advanced Service Designer you can publish vRealize Orchestrator workflows as catalog items,
include them in services, and publish the services in the catalog. You can also extend the
vRealize Automation capabilities to manage provisioned items and resources by using custom resource
actions.
For example, you can create custom resource actions to extend the post-provisioning actions on vSphere
virtual machines provisioned with Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS).
Advanced Service Designer exposes the following objects in vRealize Automation:
n
Custom resource
n
Resource mapping
n
Service blueprint
n
Resource action
You can use the objects to create an advanced service in which to include your catalog items, and entitle
the service, the catalog items and the resource actions to a user or a group of users within a business
group.
Custom Resources
You must create a custom resource so that you can create an advanced service for provisioning with the
option to access and manage the provisioned items. Custom resources define the items for provisioning,
and you can use them to define post-provisioning operations that the consumers can perform.
