In April last year i wrote a blog post about the release of Nutanix vRealize Automation reference architecture which you can find here. A few weeks ago version 2.0 of the document was released and there are quite a few changes which you might have seen in the blog post Nutanix AHV, OpenStack & vRealize Automation. vRealize Automation is a framework, multiple infrastructure like components required, for building a self service portal including PaaS and IaaS with governance and change control the Nutanix vRealize Automation reference architecture follows VMware reference architecture in terms of vRA component layout and provisioning capacity.

So download your copy of the Nutanix vRealize Automation Reference Architecture and i’m convinced you’ll find the information useful when designing and building your own private, public or hybrid cloud using vRealize Automation and Nutanix.
For exiting customers or people with an Nutanix portal account you can view the document as a PDF via this link.
Happy vRA with and on Nutanix reading….
