      <description>&lt;P&gt;We are using VRA-SaaS and there is no limit documented, however I have heard from a colleague about some issues he ran into, around the 200 cloud accounts mark. More to do with the number of cloud zones if you have multiple regions in a azure subscription and a project will only support 100 cloud zones.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;but I'm interested to hear about real world experiences&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;U&gt;I'm interested in peoples experiences with using VRA-cloud to manage a large number of Azure subscriptions and therefore Cloud Accounts. I have osme concerns around scalability. In our case we need to use well over a thousand Azure subscriptions.&lt;/U&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <title>VRA and large number of Azure CLoud Accounts</title>
      <link>https://communities.vmware.com/t5/VMware-Aria-Automation-Tools/VRA-and-large-number-of-Azure-CLoud-Accounts/m-p/2958174#M24938</link>
      <description>&lt;P&gt;We want to use VRA-Cloud to automate deployment of VMs and PaaS services into Azure, however our organization uses an Azure design where every application has its own Azure subscription meaning we may need to use up to 3000 cloud accounts. Can anyone share their experience with using large numbers of Azure cloud accounts. I'm worried about performance and manageability in particular but want to hear real-world stories before we go down this route&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <title>Numbers of Cloud Templates</title>
      <link>https://communities.vmware.com/t5/VMware-Aria-Automation-Tools/Numbers-of-Cloud-Templates/m-p/2864283#M23570</link>
      <description>&lt;P&gt;In previous versions of VRA I've always avoided the use of multi machine blueprints to define say a 3tier app as this would result in a lot of maintenance of blueprints. But with VRA8 I'm thinking this maintenance is reduced and using a cloud template to define each application&amp;nbsp;&lt;STRONG&gt;might be ok now. This customer has around 1000 applications so will result in 10000 cloud Templates, defining networks and security groups etc. What are your thoughts on whether this is too many to manage?&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;I am having an issue when connecting VRO to VCD Using Vcloud Direcotr plugin 9.1, When adding a connection to VCloud Director, the workflow hangs and actually locks up VRO, the only way I can recover is to delete the vCLoud plugin and reboot the host. Looking at the VRO server.log it gets a return ffrom VCD for all the supported API versions, but then just stops there. The next step should be to get an authentication token. This has happened on VRO versions 7.4 and 7.5, and has worked in most of my VRO environments at one time, but the usual result is this failure. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The VRO appliances are authanticated against vSphere PSCs (behind a load balancer), and this behaviour has been seen in both standalone and clusters instances of VRO.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Anyone seen anything similar?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

The only way I can see is to modify the scripts that come as part of the VRMGuestAgent. I can add the correct lines into diskpat_exec.js to modify the diskpart scripts. Of course if I ever reinstall this agent or it is upgraded, I need to remember these modifications, which makes me nervous.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hi, I have 3 questions about XaaS forms:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Is it possible to apply a regex validation to a text field in an XaaS form? Its possible in the IaaS form so it must be available in XaaS right?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Also I wanted to have a checkbox validating whether a certain value in a text field (such as a hostname) was available for use. This is linked to an action which returns true or false, which works fine. However I wanted another field to only be made visible when this checkbox is ticked, ie the hostname is available. This only works when ticking it manually, the result of the action does not make the second text field visible or invisible - is this just a limitation in the form?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Is it possible to apply any colour to the fields. In particular to the checkbox mentioned above. If I changed this to a text field and the host name was not available for use, I'd like this to say "NOT AVAILABLE" in Red.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

Probably a v8.x or v9.x release if they even agree to it.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;You may have seen another post of mine about what use the Design Canvas actually is given these constraints. I cant do firewall rules, load balancers, auto-scaling, decent dynamic selection boxes for multi-machine blueprints, so I may as well stick with individual Iaas or Xaas forms for each component and co-ordinate assembly of these items into a service using something outside of vRealize. Whether simple scripts doing REST calls into VRA or something like Teradici.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I'll explore the option of updating properties at runtime using EBS subscriptions, but its starting to get so complicated I wonder about whether its worth it&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;It gets worse... I've just realised if you auto-scale an existing deployment the new machines don't inherit the properties set on the deployment. This breaks things for me as I am setting a Three-Letter Acronym on the deployment which represents the application which is used as part of the hostname. Also the Storage policy to be used for the entire application stack&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <title>Design Canvas - Is it that useful?</title>
      <link>https://communities.vmware.com/t5/VMware-Aria-Automation-Tools/Design-Canvas-Is-it-that-useful/m-p/459706#M2085</link>
      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;When I first saw the Design Canvas I thought it was brilliant. But as time goes on I find I'm replacing more and more of its functionality with XaaS services. For example:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;We are using an NSX Universal Transport Zone so cant use it for firewall rules via the Service Composer&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;We need the ability to deploy HA Load Balancers so cant use it for On-Demand Load Balancers&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I can't bind an action-generated field in the VM to a field in the deployment so will need to deploy via a single XaaS form.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;We are deploying fairly controlled applications with a repeatable pattern so if using multi-machine blueprints we typically end up with a blueprint per-application and per reservation (prod, pre=prod etc) to set the networks, so the blueprint sprawl could be huge. I wanted to use Application Services to deploy applciations but it seems this can only be done at deployment time so again requires separate blueprints for each application, and wont allow us to use generic 3-tier application stack blueprints. I think its useful for devops teams to quickly put together a blueprint which will be used for non-prod test environments but that's about it. Interested to hear ways other people are using them, and whether I am missing something&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <title>Re: Binding Actions</title>
      <link>https://communities.vmware.com/t5/VMware-Aria-Automation-Tools/Binding-Actions/m-p/1761317#M11376</link>
      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;So when you create a blueprint in the design canvas consisting of multiple VMs, you can attach some properties to the blueprint and some to the VM within that blueprint. For example I am setting some values on the whole blueprint, such as Service RPO. This RPO dictates which set of datastores the VM should be put to. So I have another property called datastore (not the actual name) set on the VM which has an action which takes ServiceRPO as an input to generate a list of available datastores. However the form errors saying it cant find the binding property value. I can only assume because at time of request it is on a different form (linked to the deployment) and the action linked field is on a form linked to the VM.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <title>Binding Actions</title>
      <link>https://communities.vmware.com/t5/VMware-Aria-Automation-Tools/Binding-Actions/m-p/1761315#M11374</link>
      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;VRA 7.1&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I have an IaaS form, with certin properties set on the deployment and in the VM I want to bind an action to one of those properties. The form lets me do this in the design tab but when it runs it cant get the value. So the property it is bound to has to be set in the same form. Is there any way around this?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <title>Write a property to a VRA Deployment</title>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;How can I write a property to a VRA deployment, rather than a VM? If it was a VM I would write to the VCAC:Entity object but want to do this higher up so that all items under the deployment get that property&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <title>SQL Database as an Item</title>
      <link>https://communities.vmware.com/t5/VMware-Aria-Automation-Tools/SQL-Database-as-an-Item/m-p/1381126#M9081</link>
      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;I have written a Xaas Blurpting to call a powershell script which creates a database on a shared instance. I want that database to appear in the items list in VRA so I can perform day-2 actions on it. I think I have to use DynamicTypes to define a type of SQLDatabase where the fields may be as simple as servername and DBname and then populate these fields with the strings I can get back from powershell. Has anyone got any examples of how to do this, I'm struggling with Dynamic Types&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
