I recently worked with a customer to complete a Proof of Concept for the vRealize Suite and how it adds value for both traditional Virtual Machines deployments and also kubernetes deployments (including with VMware Tanzu). In the first session, we immediately hit a challenge because the customer had a non-standard Top Level Domain (TLD) and this meant we could not use the VMware vRealize Easy Installer UI to install vRealize Automation or the vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager (vRSLCM) user interface to install any of the vRealize Suite.
In this developing series of posts, we will look at how we can use the vRSLCM API to install and manage the different components of the vRealize Suite, including:
Main Posts:
- Using the vRSLCM API to create credentials in vRSLCM Locker .
- Using the vRSLCM API to Create the Global Environment and Deploy VMware Identity Manager (Standard Deployment)
- Using the vRSLCM API to Create the Global Environment and Deploy VMware Identity Manager (Cluster Deployment)
- Using the vRSLCM API to install VMware vRealize Automation (Standard Deployment) .
- Using the vRSLCM API to install VMware vRealize Automation (Cluster Deployment) .
- Using the vRSLCM API to install VMware vRealize Automation SaltStack Config (Standalone Deployment) .
- Using the vRSLCM API to install VMware vRealize Operations (Standalone Deployment) .

- From the VMware Code website, navigate to the vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager REST API document pages.
