DynamicOps.Repository.Activities
The DynamicOps.Repository.Activities namespace contains basic workflow activities for IaaS
workflows.
Note The CDK is deprecated beginning with vRealize Automation 7.0. You can use the
vRealize Orchestrator workflows to address use cases that you previously addressed with CDK.
