Customizing IaaS Workflows By Using
vRealize Orchestrator
You use a single workflow in vRealize Orchestrator to inject your custom logic into the IaaS workflow
stubs and assign your customized life cycles to machine blueprints.
You must design your custom vRealize Orchestrator workflows to accept string inputs. If your custom
workflow expects a complex data type, create a wrapper workflow that looks up this complex value and
translates it to a string. For an example wrapping workflow, see the sample Workflow template, provided
in Library > vRealize Automation > Infrastructure > Extensibility.
