Naming Standards
Since vRA/vRO/vCenter/ESX etc is a bunch of software from different developers, all bought by VMware, naming of objects is a litte bit confusing at times. Especially when it comes to the scripting part. Here is a list of my “translatations”
| ShortName | FullName | Description |
|---|---|---|
| CMP | Cloud Management Platform | - |
| DEM | Distributed Execution Manager | DEM Workers are responsible for the executing provisioning and deprovisioning tasks initiated by vRA |
| vCAC | vCloud Automation Center | Previus name of vRA (changed in version 6.0) |
| vCACCAFE | - | vRealize Automation plug-in for vRealize Orchestrator (new in version 6.0 (“replaces” vCAC) |
| VM | VirtualMachine | |
| VMCP | VM Component Protection | |
| vCD | vCloud Director | |
| vCO | vCenter Orchestrator | Previous name of vRO |
| DAS | Distributed Availability Services | Previous name of HA (High Availability) |
| HA | High Availability | was previously called Distributed Availability Services |
| FT | Fault Tolerance | |
| EVC | Enhanced vMotion Compatibility | |
| vRO | vRealize Orchestrator | Script/Workflow engine |
| vRA | vRealize Automation | |
| DRS | Distributed Resource Scheduling | provides automatic initial virtual machine placement on any of the hosts in the cluster. DRS also makes automatic resource relocation and optimization decisions as hosts or virtual machines are added or removed from the cluster. |
| SDRS | Storage Distributed Resource Scheduler | |
| DPM | Distributed Power Management | supports optimized power consumption on the cluster. When virtual machines in a DRS cluster require fewer resources, DPM consolidates workloads onto fewer servers while maintaining quality of service guarantees and powers off the rest to reduce power consumption. When more resources are required, DPM brings the powered-down hosts online. |
vRealize Automation Infrastucture
| vCenter | vRA | VRO (Script) |
|---|---|---|
| vCenter | Endpoint(vCenter) | VcSdkConnection |
| High Availability | - | DAS |
| DataCenter | (Fabric Group) Sorta, but not quite | VcDataCenter |
| Cluster | Compute Resource | |
| DataStore Cluster Resource | StoragePod | |
| DataStore | ||
| Host(ESXi) | ||
