Hello everyone, my name is Eric Shanks and welcome to my course on extending capabilities of vRealize Automation 7.

I am a Senior Solutions Architect at Ahead.

The basics behind vRealize Automation will get you started in the right direction towards an automated cloud. But to really show value to business, you’ll need some more advanced concepts.

In this course, we are going to cover ways to make vRealize Automation really work with your business and demonstrate how vRA can become central to your automation strategy.

Some of the major topics that we will cover include:

Integrating SDN into your provisioning
Explaining custom properties and Event Subscriptions
Learning how to automate placements of workloads
How we can integrate day two operations

By the end of this course you’ll know not only how vRA works, but how to best use it in your own company’s environment.

Before beginning the course you should be familiar with vRealize Orchestrator and VMware NSX knowledge would be useful as well.

I hope you’ll join me on this journey to learn vRealize Automation with the Extending capabilities of vRealize Automation 7 course, at Pluralsight.
