This code is to help someone get started and to give some ideas of what can be done with VMware Aria Products. All code should be used in a DEV environment first, until you understand all the steps that the process will complete. I always say there are a 100 ways to do the same process with Automation. These examples are how I would do the processes.
This is my way of giving back to the vCommunity. This code and examples are all mine and not the opinion of my employer.
If anyone would have some examples that they would want to include in this repository to share with the vCommunity, please reach out.
