CAS Overview

What is VMWare Cloud Assembly

  • VMware Cloud Assembly is used to connect public and private cloud providers to deploy machines, applications, and services that you create to those resources. You and your teams develop blueprints-as-code in an environment that supports an iterative workflow, from development to testing to production. At provisioning time, you can deploy across a range of cloud vendors. The service is a managed VMware SaaS and NaaS-based framework.

VMware Cloud Assembly includes the following basic functions.

  • Add and organize your cloud vendor resources and users. Information about deployed blueprints.

  • A Marketplace provides VMware Solution Exchange blueprints and images

  • Create Blueprints which is your development home. You use the canvas and the YAML editor to develop and then deploy your machines and applications.

  • Deploy Blueprints to your cloud providers, get current status of your provisioned resources. Access details and history that you use to manage your deployments.

  • The cloud agnostic blueprint is completely automated.
