The VMware vCloud Automation Center Designer is a great tool that allows you to modify pre-built workflow stubs that are included with the designer. These workflow stubs allow you add custom machine menu items, call out to external systems at different states of the machines lifecycle including:
- Machine Requested
- Machine Provisioned
- Machine Expired
- Machine Destroyed
- Machine Registered
These are very common machine lifecycle states to perform activities such as:
- CMDB Integration
- Help Desk Ticketing System Integration
- Asset System Integration
- IP Management System Integration
- DNS Integration
- and many many more…….
