Introduction to VMware
vRealize Orchestrator 2
VMware vRealize Orchestrator is an automation and management engine that helps you to automate
your cloud and integrate the VMware vCloud Suite with the rest of your management systems.
vRealize Orchestrator allows administrators and architects to develop complex automation tasks by using
the workflow designer, and then quickly access and run workflows directly from vSphere Web Client or by
various triggering mechanisms.
vRealize Orchestrator can access and control external technologies and applications by using
vRealize Orchestrator plug-ins.

VMware vRealize Orchestrator Overview
vRealize Orchestrator is a development- and process-automation platform that provides a library of
workflows. You can use the vRealize Orchestrator workflows to create and run automated, configurable
processes to manage the VMware
®
vSphere infrastructure as well as other VMware and third-party
technologies.
By default, vRealize Orchestrator exposes every operation in the VMware vCenter Server API, and you
can integrate all of these operations into your automated processes. By using vRealize Orchestrator, you
can also integrate with other management and administration solutions through its open plug-in
architecture.
For information about the latest vRealize Orchestrator releases, see the VMware vRealize Orchestrator
Documentation landing page.
