You'll need a couple things to get started before you can run off and code a bunch of cool workflows so let's step through this initial process... Get and Install AMQP Server (RabbitMQ) Configure Publisher (vCloud Director 1.5) Configure Consumer (vCenter Orchestrator) Apply Policy Template to create new Policy How to create new Policy manually Starting the Policy Get and install an AMQP server. http://www.vcoteam.info/articles/newsflash/177-vmware-released-the-amqp-plug-in.html Wed, 17 Aug 2011 00:00:00 +0000 http://www.vcoteam.info/articles/newsflash/177-vmware-released-the-amqp-plug-in.html VMware just released another new vCenter Orchestrator plug-in. The AMQP plug-in. Quoting part of the release notes: The VMware vCenter Orchestrator AMQP plug-in allows organizations to automatically trigger workflows based on AMQP messages. Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP) is a highly-scalable publish and subscribe message protocol that is increasingly used in cloud architectures. It is the default messaging protocol for vCloud Director 1.5. With the AMQP plug-in, organizations can define policies that automatically trigger specific workflows based on certain AMQP messages.
