Hello the vCommunity,
I’d like to share with you a demo that I’ve been preparing these last couple of days, and in which I explain the whole procedure in order to deploy an AWS EC2 instance from vRealize Automation 7.6.
I wish you a happy watching and don’t hesitate to subscribe and like if you enjoyed the demo.
Stay safe and have all a nice holiday! See you soon 😉
vRealize Automation 8 was released last week and I wanted to share with you how to do the installation of that new version.
Like I stated in a previous blog post, vRA 8 comes in a brand new platform built on a container-based architecture running on Photon OS 2.0.
As you know, no more Windows machines is required but the vRA 8 appliance includes all the services such as Cloud Assembly, Service Broker, Code Stream, and vRealize Orchestrator that leverage the main product.
There are some prerequisites before installing vRA 8. You will have first to deploy the Lifecycle Manager and then the Identity Manager. Know that you can also migrate earlier version of LCMÂ and IDM if you have older version running in your environment. However it is not possible to install each component by deploying their respective OVA files.
That was unexepected and many of you may have not heard about it, but it is here. vRealize Automation 8 was announced at VMworld 2019 US.
vRealize Automation 8 comes with a new and modern platform built on a container-based architecture that offers more scalability and performance than in previous versions.
No more Windows Server machine is required for the installation. Yes, you read right! Administrators and Engineers working on vRA 6 and 7 would be more than happy to hear that, as previous installations were a real pain and especially with vRA 6.
Only one VM can now run all vRA services but the infrastructure can also be extented to support a three nodes configuration if more scaling and high availability is required.
