In part 1 of this short series, I set the scene for a blueprint VM requiring a DNS record to be created in AWS Route53. I documented the vRO resource and configuration elements that would be needed, along with a handful of actions. In the final part, we tackle the main workflow plus Continue reading

Modifying AWS Route53 Records in vRealize Automation – Part 1
I recently built a vRealize Automation blueprint in the lab that provisions a vSphere machine into the DMZ which could be accessed externally. For users to be able to connect to this machine it will need a DNS record to be created in my external DNS domain, which is hosted with Amazon Web Services. Continue reading
Wednesday Tidbit: Using Postman to authenticate to AWS
I’m currently working on a set of vRealize Automation blueprints that reach out to Amazon Web Services Route 53 during provisioning to create some DNS records. In true “bottom-up” programming methodology, I’m using the Postman API client to prove my concept works, before coding the solution in Javascript so it can be used in vRealize Orchestrator.

Configuring Hybrid Linked Mode between VMConAWS and a multi-site on-premises environment

Before I start with the post, I would like to thank the team for selecting me and giving me the opportunity to test this solution. Continue reading
Getting the hell out of Amazon Web Services
If you’re a regular reader of my blog you may recall that in June I made the decision to move my production environment to Amazon Web Services. This was because I no longer fancied running my servers (however small and unobtrusive) at home. At first everything went well – the migration to the cloud was seamless and without any issues.

Recently I decided that my home was no longer the place to keep my lab, as heating and noise were becoming increasingly more irritating. Shortly after I decided Continue reading
