Build Tools for VMware Aria originated as an internal VMware project. It is used by delivery teams to develop, test, and deploy customer automation solutions based on products that are part of VMware Aria Suite… Continued here.
There are two options to customize Aria Automation start page:
To change the title and content text, we login the Aria Auto VA using the root account.
Then we navigate into the folder /opt/tarballs/landing-ui/assets/i18n, where a couple of language files are stored in JSON format, e.g. en.json.
Simply adjust the content of these files as required and save each file.
To change the image on the landing page, we again login the Aria Auto VA using the root account.
Then we navigate into the folder /opt/tarballs/landing-ui/assets/img, where the landing page image is stored in SVG format. You can upload your own SVG file here, it must be called welcome-intro-01.svg and saved with file system permissions of 664.
Both actions must be performed on all nodes in a cluster. No restart of any service is required.

Recently, I needed to deploy VCSA 8.0.0 in a VMware Cloud Director environment, which initially ended up with the following cryptic error message when trying to import the VCSA OVA file from the installer ISO into a VCD vApp template:
Error: Validation failed for the OVF file you provided: Fatal: Line/char 578/96: cvc-minInclusive-valid: Value ‘-100’ is not facet-valid with respect to minInclusive ‘0’ for type ‘unsignedShort’.
Although not officially supported by VMware, I came up with the following solution: Replace the mentioned value with a valid one in the OVF file as an unsigned short data type cannot have a negative value, i.e. it must be in the range of 0 to 65535. Thus, we’ll simply remove the sign from the value and store it as “100” in the OVF file.
VMware Aria was announced during this year’s VMware Explore US General Session, and it of course also featured sessions in VMware Explore EMEA. Time to recap what it is all about:
“VMware Aria is a multi-cloud management portfolio that provides a set of end-to-end solutions for managing the cost, performance, configuration, and delivery of infrastructure and cloud-native applications across any cloud.”
The brand title “Aria” was chosen to describe a piece for voice. That piece could be an instrumental accompaniment or be solo, and is usually part of a longer work, like an opera. Sing with one Voice.
The new Aria portfolio adds new solutions such as Aria Hub, Aria Guardrails, Aria Migration, and Aria Business Insight, but also consists of the former vRealize Suite products vRealize Automation, vRealize Operations, vRealize Log Insight, and vRealize Network Insight. It also adds vRealize True Visibility Suite and CloudHealth Secure State. Further, VMware Aria complements VMware Tanzu by including Tanzu Observability by Wavefront.
In a nutshell, the Aria portfolio consists of the following:
Additionally, VMware Skyline is included in the VMware Aria portfolio.
All your base are belong to us.
