Is it possible to integrate JIRA and vRealize automation?

We are trying to implement vRealize automation for the following purpose:

  1. Customer will create a request / task in Jira.
  2. Once request is submitted, vRA will automatically process the request and provision the vm in respective environment (AWS / vCenter ) based on the request. If approval policy required based on the request, vRA should initiate the email to approve the request from the approver. (This manual process involved based on JIRA request)
  3. After VM Provisioned, vRA will automatically close the ticket

It is possible, but a lot of custom development is required, so do not expect someone provide you a complete solution here. High level steps are:

1. Jira triggers Aria Automation deployment via Deployment API (REST API): Request Deployment - VMware Aria Automation API Programming Guide

2. Aria Automation supports Approvals, it can send email to approvers.

3. After the deployment completed, an Event Broker Subscription (EBS) is fired and Aria Automation (by an Orchestrator workflow) calls JIRA REST API to close the ticket.

You need to examine and program REST API of Aria and JIRA in steps number 1 and 3
