Introduction to the VMware vCenter

Orchestrator Plug-In for vCloud

Director 1

The vCloud Director plug-in (VMware vCenter Orchestrator plug-in for vCloud Director) allows interaction

between vCenter Orchestrator and vCloud Director.

You can use the plug-in to run Orchestrator workflows that automate vCloud Director processes. The plug-in

contains a set of standard workflows. You can also create custom workflows that implement the plug-in API

to automate tasks in your vCloud Director environment.

vCloud Director Plug-In Components

The vCloud Director plug-in relies on a number of components to function properly.

vCloud plug-in

The vCloud Director plug-in implements the User, Admin, and Admin Extensions API classes that correspond

to the types of API classes in vCloud Director. All users can read User API classes and users with appropriate

rights can modify these classes. Users with administrative rights can modify Admin API and User API classes.

The Admin Extensions API classes are VMware-specific and only system administrators can modify these

classes. System administrators can also modify Admin API and User API classes.

The vCloud Java SDK provides the communication platform between the JavaScript API of the plug-in and

the vCloud Director REST API.
