Lots of our prospects with hybrid cloud environments depend on VMware software program on-premises. They need to simplify provisioning and allow end-user self service. On the identical time, in addition they need to make sure that they’re complying with IT insurance policies and following IT finest practices. Consequently, many use VMware vRealize Automation, a platform for automated self-service provisioning and lifecycle administration of IT infrastructure, and are in search of methods to leverage it within the cloud.
Right this moment, we’re saying the preview of our plug-in for VMware vRealize Orchestrator and assist for Google Cloud Platform (GCP) sources in vRealize Automation. With these sources, now you can deploy and handle GCP sources from inside your vRealize Automation surroundings.
The GCP plug-in for VMware vRealize Orchestrator offers a constant administration and governance expertise throughout on-premises and GCP-based IT environments. For instance, you should utilize Google-provided blueprints or construct your individual blueprints for Google Compute Engine sources and publish to the vRealize service catalog. This implies you possibly can choose and launch sources in a predictable method that’s much like the way you launch VMs in your on-premises VMware surroundings, utilizing a software you’re already conversant in.
This preview launch lets you:
- Create vRealize Automation “blueprints” for Compute Engine VM Situations
- Request and self-provision sources in GCP utilizing vRA’s catalog characteristic
- Acquire visibility and reclaim sources in GCP to scale back operational prices
- Implement entry and useful resource quota insurance policies for sources in GCP
- Provoke Day 2 operations (begin, cease, delete, and many others.) on Compute Engine VM Situations, Occasion Teams and Disks
The GCP plug-in for vRealize makes it simple so that you can unlock new hybrid situations. For instance:
- Attain new areas to handle international enterprise wants. (Hi there Finland, Mumbai and Singapore.)
- Outline large-scale functions utilizing vRA and deploy to Compute Engine to leverage GCP’s worldwide load balancing and computerized scaling.
- Get monetary savings by deploying VMs as Compute Engine Preemptible VM Situations and utilizing Customized Machine Sorts to tailor the VM configuration to utility wants.
- Speed up the time it takes to coach a machine studying mannequin through the use of Compute Engine with NVIDIA® Tesla® P100 GPUs.
- Replicate your on premises-based functions to the cloud and scale up or down as your enterprise dictates.
Whereas this preview gives assist for Compute Engine Digital Machines in vRealize Automation, we’re working along with VMware so as to add assist for extra GCP merchandise resembling Cloud TPUs—we’ll share extra on that within the coming months. You can too discover extra details about this announcement by studying VMware’s weblog.
