The examples provided in this document are intended to demonstrate some of the capabilities of using orchestration in a vCloud environment. While they provide a starting point, further exploration and maturation of orchestration within your environment are important elements in its evolution.

The following resources are useful to further explore the capabilities and benefits of orchestration and to facilitate the automation of processes within your environment.

vCenter Orchestrator has a robust and active online community that can be a helpful resource for additional workflow examples and community-based support for custom workflows that you develop for your environment.
