Aria Automation supports integration with Ansible Open Source configuration management as well as with Ansible Automation Platform, fomerly Ansible Tower. After configuring an integration, we can add Ansible components to new or existing deployments from the cloud template editor.
This post demonstrates how to setup Ansible Open Source integration and how to use it in a cloud template.
We can configure and replace license changes to Aria Automation either using the CLI or through the Aria Suite Lifecycle UI. This short post demonstrates the convenient way using Aira Suite Lifecycle (formerly known as vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager).
Build Tools for VMware Aria provides development and release management tools for implementing automation solutions based on the VMware Aria Suite (VMware Aria Automation, VMware Aria Automation Orchestrator, VMware Aria Operations, VMware Aria Automation Pipelines, Aria Operations for Logs) and VMware Cloud Director. The solution enables Virtual Infrastructure Administrators and Automation Developers to use standard DevOps practices for managing and deploying content.
In this post, I’ll demonstrate how to setup a developer infrastructure for Aria Automation using Build Tools for VMware Aria.
The VMware Explore 2023 event in Barcelona took place from Nov. 6-9. In this blog post, I’m going to summarize recent developments and announcements from Explore Barcelona in the multi-cloud management area with focus on the Aria portfolio.
Some significant changes in the Aria and Tanzu portfolio have been taken place during the last months, i.e. VMware moved AIOps, FinOps and IT automation products from the Aria portfolio into Tanzu. VMware has rebranded four Aria products as Tanzu Intelligence Services and Tanzu Hub, which are now positioned alongside the existing Tanzu Application Platform (TAP).
In a nutshell: VMware Tanzu will be the multi-cloud application brand that accelerates application delivery with key capabilities to develop, operate, and optimize (D-O-O framework) applications on any cloud. VMware Aria will continue to provide cloud management capabilities and specifically be a critical solution in helping VMware customers to transform their physical computing resources into a true IaaS surface, but will no longer be part of the DOO narrative.
The first part of the post will explain the current multi-cloud app strategy and how the Aria and Tanzu portfolios fit in there.
The second part will summarise the recent developments and announcements within the Aria portfolio.
Recently, I wanted to replace the self-signed certificate of Aria Automation using Aria Platform Lifecycle (formerly known as vRealize Lifecycle Manager). The customer has signed my CSR (created via Aria Platform Lifecycle) through their CA using the ECDSA (Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm) hashing algorithm in their intermediate certificates.
This ultimately fails with error LCMVRAVACONFIG90039 due to some arbitrary restrictions in the backend of Aria Automation.
