Setting Up
Automation Orchestrator
 Components

When you download and deploy the
Automation Orchestrator Appliance
, the
Automation Orchestrator
 server is preconfigured. After deployment, the services start automatically.
To enhance the availability and scalability of your
Automation Orchestrator
 setup, follow these guidelines:
  • Install and configure an authentication provider and configure
    Automation Orchestrator
     to work with the provider. See Configuring a Standalone Automation Orchestrator Server.
  • For clustered
    Automation Orchestrator
     environments, install and configure a load balancing server and configure it to distribute the workload between the
    Automation Orchestrator
     servers.

vCenter
 setup

Increasing the number of
vCenter
 instances in your
Automation Orchestrator
 setup causes
Automation Orchestrator
 to manage more sessions. Too many active sessions can cause
Automation Orchestrator
 to experience timeouts when more than 10
vCenter
 connections occur.
For a list of the supported versions of
vCenter
, see the VMware Product Interoperability Matrix.
If your network has sufficient bandwidth and latency, you can run multiple
vCenter
 instances on different virtual machines in your
Automation Orchestrator
 setup. If you are using LAN to improve the communication between
Automation Orchestrator
 and
vCenter
, a 100-Mb line is mandatory.

Standalone
Automation Orchestrator
 support for VMware Cloud on AWS

Standalone
Automation Orchestrator
 deployments do not support VMware Cloud on AWS authentication and because of this you cannot run
Automation Orchestrator
 workflows on VMware Cloud on AWS vCenters.

Authentication Methods

To authenticate and manage user permissions,
Automation Orchestrator
 requires a connection to either
VMware Aria Automation
 or a
vSphere
 server instance.
When you download, and deploy
Automation Orchestrator Appliance
, you must configure the server with a
VMware Aria Automation
 or
vSphere
 authentication. See Configuring a Standalone Automation Orchestrator Server.
Automation Orchestrator
 8.x authentication with
VMware Aria Automation
 is only supported with
VMware Aria Automation
 8.x.
