Benefits• Integrate VMware solutions into your IT

environment and processes

• Reduce IT OpEx and total cost of ownership of VMware and third-party solutions

• Automate your cloud and accelerate transition to IT as a Service (ITaaS) model

Key use cases are automated • Cloud administration tasks• Incident remediation• General IT administration tasks

6

Features and Benefits• vRealize Orchestrator

– Included with VMware vCenter Server™ and vRealize Automation to enable automation and orchestration

– Makes IT operations faster and less error-prone by facilitating the automation of IT processes

– Facilitates the development of workflows– Provides a graphical integrated development environment (IDE)– Enables workflows to be exported and imported through packages– Provides a workflow engine– Offers multiple ways to run workflows

7

Automation and Orchestration• vRealize Orchestrator workflows automate IT and business processes

– Lowers IT operating expenses and cost of ownership– Enables consistent and rapid execution of IT services

Workflow Engine• The vRealize Orchestrator

workflow engine – Runs multiple workflows in

parallel– Performs checkpointing– Includes user interactions

9

Graphical IDE Features• Workflow component dragging and dropping

• Variable binding for data transfer between elements

• Visual editor for complete workflow view

• Version control for workflows and other vRealize Orchestrator content

10

Workflow Development• Reuse existing building blocks to

build – Workflows– Actions– Resource elements– Predefined “scriptable” tasks

• More than 500 ready-to-use actions and workflows

• More workflows available using plug-ins

11

Running Workflows• Run workflows from

– vRealize Orchestrator client– VMware vSphere® Web Client– vRealize Automation– A client that uses the vRealize Orchestrator REST API

12

Client• vRealize Orchestrator client

– Primary tool for developing workflows

13

vSphere Web Client Integration• vSphere Web Client

– Primary tool for administrators to execute and monitor workflows

14

REST API • REST API local documentation at vRealize Orchestrator API (https://

vCenter_Orchestrator_host:8281/vco/api/docs)

Use Cases• Orchestration of virtual infrastructure

• Extending vSphere Web Client functionality

• Integration and orchestration of third-party systems

• vRealize Automation machine lifecycle extensibility

• vRealize Automation anything as a service (XaaS)

19

vSphere Task Automation • Automate one task on multiple objects

– Example• Add an NFS datastore to all VMware ESXi™ hosts in a cluster

• Automate multiple tasks on one object– Example

• Configure a new ESXi host and configure its switches • Add an NFS datastore and connect it to a cluster

• Automate multiple tasks on multiple objects. – Example

• Create a new cluster, connect multiple ESXi hosts to it and configure them properly

20

Extending vSphere Functionality• Because vRealize Orchestrator provides access to the complete

vSphere API, you can create workflows that provide features that are not available in the vSphere Client or the vSphere Web Client

• Examples– Cloning from an old snapshot– Creating linked clones of virtual machines

• The integration with the vSphere Web Client enables administrators to run workflows as easily as they perform common vSphere administration tasks

21

Orchestration of IT Services• vRealize Orchestrator enables the automation of IT processes among

several systems and APIs

• Virtual machine provisioning example – An end user requests a new machine from the vRealize Automation service

catalog to automate the creation of a virtual machine– A vRealize Automation workflow deploys the virtual machine to an ESXi host– A vRealize Orchestrator workflow enters the virtual machine in an asset

management and content management database– A vRealize Orchestrator workflow creates documentation– A vRealize Orchestrator workflow notifies the user that the virtual machine is

ready to use

22

Integration with External Systems Using APIsWith vRealize Orchestrator use the same methodology to create workflows regardless of the external system
