vRealize Suite 2019 - Part 3: Installing vRealize Automation

Fri, 17 Jan 2020 21:56:02 -0500

Intro

In my previous post, I covered the configuration of VMware Identity Manager in preparation for what I will cover in this post, the installation of vRealize Automation 8.0! This new release is a complete redesign of the product and now uses a similar codebase to vRealize Automation Cloud (formerly known as Cloud Automation Services), bringing those capabilities to the on-premises form factor and making it easier to transform IT delivery. I look forward to tinkering with this more after the deployment! Let’s jump right in!

Intro

In my previous post, I covered how to install vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager 8.0 and in the process it also deployed an instance of VMware Identity Manager aka Workspace One Access, which is a requirement for installing vRealize Automation 8.0. I opted to skip the deployment of the latter as to keep focus on the deployment of LCM only.

Intro

Hello, and thank you for visiting my blog! I’d decided to take some time away from writing in order to focus on my role as a Solutions Engineer at VMware, and enhance my skillset by getting more acclimated and accustomed to some of the most utilized solutions by VMware customers. Almost one full year has passed since I last wrote anything, and with the new year underway, what better time to get back into writing some material for myself and the vCommunity.
