VMware vRealize Automation (vRA) and UrbanCode Deploy
– UrbanCode Deploy Blueprint Designer integration with vRA
• Design Heat blueprints that comprise:
– vCenter infrastructure (vSphere machines, network profiles)
– vRA software components
– UCD software components
• Heat blueprints are converted into vRA blueprints
– Published to vRA catalog
– Deployment requested via Heat extensions
– vRA-managed vCenter infrastructure provisioning
– UCD-managed application deployment

Application Process and Snapshot Support
– Solution
• Provide optional ability in UCD Blueprint Designer to execute an application process
– UCD Blueprint Designer builds resource tree in UCD with component structure
– Application process executed instead of individual component processes
• Provide optional ability to execute against an application snapshot
– When executing an application process, inventory data (versions, processes, etc.) are derived from the
snapshot, and not the blueprint
• Blueprint Designer UI enhancements
– Select application process and/or snapshot at design time
– Live feedback to verify blueprint contains the correct components for the specified application process
– Result
• You can now fully provision their environment with UCD blueprint via an application process
• Snapshot information can be captured and leveraged in subsequent provisioning of the same
blueprint
