With this release, you can leverage dynamic inputs in native vRA Cloud Templates. Using Kubernetes Workspaces with Code Stream With this feature a user can select a Kubernetes endpoint instead and execute a pipeline on Kubernetes versus a Docker endpoint. Previous versions allowed a Docker-based workspace to be used. The new feature allows create, read, update, and destroy lifecycle actions, as well as day-2 actions, by leveraging easily created ABX actions.Ĭustom Resources - ABX Backed - A Data Management Tanzu Use CaseĪ workspace in Code Stream represents a sandbox environment which allows a pipeline to execute Continuous Integration tasks.

As a result, a new plugin or dynamic type was required to accommodate new resource types. Previously we were limited to the existing vRO inventory when using a Custom Resource. You can now create Custom Resources based on ABX extensibility actions with lifecycle operations and day-2 context actions. The modules are available on GitHub and can be used by all Salt and SaltStack Config customers. Capabilities include numerous day-0 and day-2 scenarios, including creating an SDDC, viewing VMC security rules, configuring an NSX-T manager, configuring a vSphere cluster, and much more. These modules will focus on vSphere, VMware Cloud on AWS, and NSX. We are introducing new SaltStack SDDC modules through our Open Source Project. SaltStack Config SDDC modules for vSphere, VMC, and NSX Day-2, deployments and lifecycle can be managed directly in vRA or within VCD. Deployments are designed via the typical process in Cloud Templates using cloud agnostic objects. Also common day-2 actions such as, Power operations, snapshots, and disk management are available from the vRA side. Virtual Data Centers, networks, VM sizing and storage policies, images, VMs and disks are supported within vRA. Let's dive in!Ī new Cloud Account is available that allows integration with Cloud Director. This blog provides technical highlights from the vRA 8.5.1 and 8.6 releases with many links to detailed blogs. This month we're announcing the release of new features focused on VMware Cloud Director integration, new SaltStack Config modules, ABX backed Custom Resources, and a Kubernetes workspace in Code Stream, to name a few.
