vRealize CloudClient is a CLI utility with a unified interface across vRealize Automation APIs. CloudClient is used to configure each single-tenant instance of vRealize Automation. CloudClient must be configured to leverage the “cloudclient.properties” and cloudclient.config files when being leveraged by scripts. In a later section, examples are provided on how to update the parameters provided by these files during the execution of a PowerShell script.

Cloud Client is a Java application and requires the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) to be installed. Refer to the documentation for the recommended version of Java.
