Connecting to VMware vRealize Automation

Integrating the IBM UrbanCode Deploy blueprint designer with VMware vRealize Automation v7.x.

To integrate the IBM UrbanCode Deploy blueprint designer with VMware vRealize Automation v7.x, you must have the following elements:
  • A VMware vRealize Automation URL
  • A VMware vRealize Automation tenant ID, for example vsphere.local
  • A working VMware vRealize Automation account
When you integrate with a VMware vRealize Automation Enterprise server, you can create blueprints that model deployments to the vCenter servers that are connected to the vRealize Automation server.
  1. Log in to the blueprint designer as a user with the following System permissions:
    • Configure Security
    • Manage Users & Groups
  2. Create a connection to the cloud:
    1. Click Settings > Clouds.
    2. Click Add New Connection.
    3. Specify a name for the cloud connection.
    4. In the Type list, select VMware vRealize.
    5. Click Save.
  3. To create a cloud project, see Creating cloud projects for the blueprint designer.
  4. Add the cloud project to a team.
  5. Add users to the team and to one or more roles on the team.
    These users can come from any authentication realm, including LDAP servers, Keystone identity services, or from the internal authentication realm.
  6. Make sure that the team roles include the appropriate permissions for those users, such as creating and editing blueprints.
You can log in to the blueprint designer as a user from that team. At the top of the page, you can select the vRealize Automation cloud connection and cloud project to use. When you edit blueprints, the palette shows resources that are available to your vRealize Automation account, and you can provision blueprints to the vCenter environments that you access through vRealize Automation.
