vRealize Automation

The infrastructure provisioning and management piece of the vRealize suite. Meant to allow
infrastructure blueprints to then layer applications on top.

Strengths Weaknesses

-Anything as a service • Optimized for VMware – requires vCenter Orchestrator
-Create custom day-2 • Infrastructure centric – with weak application automation
infrastructure actions • Frankenstein product—hard to install and support
(vCenter Orchestrator) • Overly complex and bloated footprint
• - 15+ VMs required for production install
• Limited cloud support
• No tenancy for admins/power users
• Need separate product in suite for costing
• Every blueprint requires custom workflow
• Not FIPs compliant
