Automating and managing networks is made easier by integrating VDCs (Virtual Data Centers) and IPAMs (IP Address Managements). Identify the platforms in use (e.g., VMware, Azure, Infoblox, BlueCat for IPAM). Communicate using APIs provided by both systems. By configuring workflows in the VDC, IPAM can be updated with IP allocations and subnets. To prevent conflicts, ensure that the systems are synchronized. There are tools that can help streamline this process, such as Ansible or Terraform. For future reference, test the setup in a non-production environment before deploying. The proper integration of resources improves the efficiency of operations and improves the allocation of resources.
