In VMware Aria Automation Assembler, tags are critical for managing, analyzing, monitoring, and grouping deployed resources. Among the various types of tags, the standard tag is automatically applied during the provisioning of some deployments. These standard tags are essential for supporting the analysis, monitoring, and grouping of deployed resources.

Standard tags in VMware Aria Automation are system-generated and stored as custom properties. They are used primarily for tracking and managing resources post-deployment. Unlike user-defined tags, standard tags are automatically applied and are not used during the deployment configuration to enforce constraints or capabilities. Instead, they facilitate operational functions such as monitoring resource usage, ensuring compliance, and optimizing resource management.

Other types of tags, like constraint tags and capability tags, are user-defined and are crucial during the deployment process for determining resource allocation and meeting specific requirements or constraints. However, standard tags serve a distinct purpose by providing a consistent way to monitor and group resources after they have been provisioned.

Within VMware Aria Automation Pipelines, Stages and Tasks are fundamental components that define the workflow. Here’s how they function:

A Task can run either in parallel or sequentially to other Tasks within the same Stage (A): This flexibility allows for efficient resource usage and optimization of deployment processes.

A Stage can run either in parallel or sequentially to other Stages within the same Pipeline (B): This enables complex workflows to be broken down into manageable segments, which can be executed based on dependencies or simultaneously if there are no interdependencies.

A Stage can have more than one Task (E): Each Stage can encapsulate multiple Tasks, allowing for intricate workflows within a single Stage.

A Pipeline can have more than one Stage (F): A pipeline is typically composed of multiple stages, each representing a different phase of the deployment process, such as development, testing, and production.

These configurations provide significant flexibility and control over the deployment processes within VMware Aria Automation Pipelines, facilitating sophisticated CI/CD workflows.

VMware Aria Automation Pipelines User Guide

VMware Aria Automation Pipelines support multiple endpoints to integrate with various tools and platforms. Two of the supported endpoints are:

Ansible Tower: This endpoint allows integration with Ansible Tower for automation and configuration management, enabling tasks such as playbook execution and inventory management within pipelines.

Jenkins: This endpoint facilitates integration with Jenkins, a popular open-source automation server, enabling continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) workflows within VMware Aria Automation Pipelines.

These integrations allow administrators to leverage existing automation tools and CI/CD processes within the VMware Aria Automation environment, enhancing the overall automation and orchestration capabilities.
