vRealize Automation is a core component for the provisioning of workloads in private hosted cloud deployments. Leveraging the vRealize Automation self-service portal, tenants can deploy and maintain the lifecycle of workloads with their own dedicated endpoints hosted by the cloud service provider.

vRealize Automation consists of several sub-components and services that can run one system or be distributed for a large scale of users and workloads. The details of some of these major components are discussed here.
