VM Creation via Orchestration

[yogesh_rajendra]

Hi all,

Azure Virtual Machine or any VM creation is possible via Orchestration? Do we have any Activity for that?

Note: It is possible through Cloud Management but i am looking via Orchestration.

Thanks,

Hi Ram,

We don't have Cloud Management plugin, So i prefer to choose this custom orchestration. Can you suggest me is there any other way to achieve this. 

Thanks,

Yogesh R

The straight way to achieve this is to design/code the orchestration flows - pointers in the answer from Rajesh Kannan above.

However we have simplified for you in the cloud management plugin. There may be other integrations by 3rd-party, i don't know much about these.

It is really a choice of cost to build and maintain your flows, versus the cost of using the official plugin. Hope that is considered.

Hi,

you can use "Blueprint Request" workflow and schedule\use this with your orchestration activities.

even CMP uses this WF to provission the VMs into CPs (AWS, Azure etc).

at the end you woul need to call this workflows or your custom ones through REST, Orchestrations or ARM templates...

whats the exact need of yours?

thanks...

Certainly, you can build VMs through orchestration using PowerShell or REST activities.
