Post-Provisioning action

Hi all,

Is there any way to execute a vCO workflow after a successfully Bluprint provisioning?

I need to take some actions over the Virtual Machine newly created.

Thanks a lot,

D.

Hi bdamian, when provionsing machines you could use the MachineProvisioned workflow step. There you can do this either synchronously or asynchronously. In the latter case you would probably start another WF from that step and have some wait logic in place to query the machine state. How you do this will depend on the type of installation and if you have external deployment systems (like SCCM, Puppet) doing sth in the background. Then you might have to sync with these systems to find out when a machine is really _ready_ instead of just powered on and running. Regards, Ronald

Thanks a lot Ronald,

I found this and now my problem is a matter of licensing. With vCloud Suite (even Enterprise) you can't create an Orchestrator Endpoint (needed to use from a Blueprint).

Regards,

D.
