In a dedicated customer private cloud scenario, the service provider can deploy a development instance of vRealize Automation for the customer. The customer can use this instance of vRealize Automation to develop the necessary extensibility required for users in the production environment. As with the service provider development instance scenario, extensibility updates are developed and validated in the development environment, and then moved to a test instance (if this is standard operating procedure) or to the production instance of vRealize Automation.
