A few days ago, 2017-05-16, VMware released a new version of vRealize Automation (vRA) formerly known as vCloud Automation Center (vCAC) meaning the most recent version is now 7.3. There are enhancements in quite a few areas and some new pretty good feature I know people are looking for e.g.:
- Integration with Puppet
- High availability:
- Automated PostgreSQL database failover
- Automated IaaS Manager Service failover
- Multiple NSX enhancements:
- Load Balancers
- NAT and Port Forward
- Security Groups
- Event Log functionality and logging
- ServiceNow integration improvements e.g. to the governance engine
In addition to vRA 7.3 VMware also released vRealize Orchestrator (vRO) formerly known as vCenter Orchestrator (vCO) version 7.3 which includes e.g.:
- Integration with Single Sign-On (SSO) through vRealize Automation or vSphere authentication.
- Improved configuration of Control Center, including an initial configuration wizard.
- Role-based access to Control Center as opposed to the unrestricted root access in earlier versions.
- Added support for custom DynamicType properties that are persistent in the configuration. Really good:)
