Recently, I was asked by a customer to deploy a custom NSX-T firewalling solution for their virtual machines, where virtual machines owned by an Aria Automation user are allowed to communicate with virtual machines of the same user. The solution leverages NSX-T firewall rules based on groups, where the group membership is defined based on NSX-T tags attached to a virtual machine.
To achieve the custom tagging of virtual machines in NSX-T during the VM deployment phase in Aria Automation, I developed a Orchestrator workflow leveraging the capabilities of the NSX-T API.
In this blog post, I’ll demonstrate how to use the NSX-T API from Orchestrator.
