- 6. Key User Personas in Cloud Management 6
- 7. vRealize Automation 7 Converged Blueprint Designer • Unified Service Catalog • Common authoring for all cloud platforms • Governance & Policies • Incorporate On-Demand Networking and Security • Integrate external and custom services from the XaaS library
- 8. Provisioning a VM is fast and easy, but... May not be security hardened or compliant with org’s Standard Operating Environment (SOE) Consumer still has to add their own components, likely manually. You could easily consume a week’s worth of work manually completing the build-out of the newly provisioned server VMs can get thrown over the wall: no central visibility into what the Consumer has done to the VM or what state it is in now No way to automate updating the VM once it has been provisioned

Editor's Notes
- #5: VMware drives our strategic priorities with a unique, end-to-end integrated architecture. We enable customers to run any application, on any device, on any cloud. Our offerings give our customers the flexibility they need now and in the future to modernize their data centers and integrate public clouds. Our unified architecture, integrated from data center to device, enables the delivery of digital workspaces, empowering end users with the safe consumption of apps and content on any device. A key aspect of this integrated architecture, our VMware Cross-Cloud Architecture turbo-charges data center and cloud agility and enables the deployment of traditional, cloud-native, and SaaS apps, for rapid business innovation and time to market. Last but not least, by leveraging a ubiquitous software layer, we bring intrinsic security to everything—infrastructure, networks, applications, devices, and end-user access.
- #6: We have already covered the Manageability improvements in the Simplified Setup Section. Now lets focus on how we are making the cloud ready for consumption on Day 1 by providing out of the box integrations, reducing administrative overhead and simplifying the consumption of cloud services. With parameterized Blueprints and Custom forms we reduce the administrative overhead associated with maintaining blueprints while simplifying the self-service consumption for end users. vRealize Automation’s built in integration with Software Configuration Management systems will make it easy to configure systems and keep it under desired state. Seamless integration with ServiceNow makes exposing vRealize Automation blueprints in ServiceNow catalog effortless.
