vRSLCM 8.1 New Features
Certificate Delegation Support – vRSLCM allows for users within vRSLCM to manage certificates via the Locker feature. These certificates are used for the vRealize Suite of products. vRSLCM 8.1 includes a new role called “Certificate Administrator” that can be delegated to users. This role can even be delegated to non-admins in case you do not want the certificate managers to have admin rights to vRSLCM.
Dedicated Multi-tenancy Support – vRealize Automation 8.1 features a new multi-tenant feature that allows administrator to create multiple tenants to carve out infrastructure and create policies that are isolated to a tenant. The multi-tenancy configuration and setup is done in the vRSLCM 8.1 product.
GitHub Integration – Leverage source control for content pipelines with GitHub. This expands our source control story for treating content as code scenarios and creating content pipelines in vRSLCM.
New and Improve UI – Besides some great new features, vRSLCM also got a face lift! There is a new UI and better navigation options within the product.
VMware Cloud Foundation Integration – vRSLCM automatically detects VCF/SDDC Manager components to deploy various vRealize Suite products. This unified view to deploy, upgrade and patch vRealize Suite provides ease of use and flexibility for administrators.
