7.5.1 vCloud Administration Orchestration Examples
The following examples highlight the value of vCenter Orchestrator to the vCloud system administrator. The use case focuses on infrastructure management and the resource provisioning process.
A
provider wants to onboard a new customer
. The main steps are
to add
a new organization, users (possibly from LDAP
), networks, virtual datacenters, and catalogs. The provider may also want to schedule
a recurring chargeback report for billing
, and send an email notification to the tenant advising them that their vCloud environment is ready.
A
tenant requests
additional external network capacity. The
provider wants
to automate the creation of the network,
which includes
name generation, identification, and allocation of available VLAN and IP address range; configuration of the network switch and vCloud perimeter firewall,
creation of the external network in vCenter,
and finally,
allocation of the external network to the tenant’s organization.
