vRealize Automation provides self-service provisioning, IT services delivery, and life cycle management of cloud services across many multi-vendor virtual, physical, and cloud platforms using a flexible distributed architecture. vRealize Automation provides a secure portal where authorized administrators, developers, and business users can request new IT services and manage existing system resources from predefined user-specific service catalog. For more details of the design of the vRealize Automation, see the information that is provided at the following VVD location Logical Design for vRealize Automation. For details on the deployment of vRealize Automation following VVD guidance, see the vRealize Automation Implementation in Region A.

Before deploying the vRealize Automation, the vRealize Lifecycle Manger must be deployed from SDDC Manager. It is used to deploy and life cycle the vRealize Suite components.
