vRealize Automation (vRA) is a cloud management platform that provides self-service provisioning, orchestration, and management of IT infrastructure and applications across multiple cloud environments. To integrate vRA with vCloud Air via a web proxy, there are certain requirements that need to be met. Let's discuss these requirements in detail:

A. DEM Worker is configured for internet access via the proxy:

DEM (Distributed Execution Manager) worker is a component of vRA that is responsible for executing various workflows, including provisioning and decommissioning of virtual machines. To enable vRA to integrate with vCloud Air via a web proxy, the DEM worker needs to be configured for internet access via the proxy. This means that the DEM worker should be able to reach the proxy server to establish a connection with vCloud Air.

B. vCloud Air endpoint has been configured to use the DEM worker set as the proxy:

vCloud Air endpoint is the endpoint used to connect to vCloud Air. To enable integration between vRA and vCloud Air via a web proxy, the vCloud Air endpoint needs to be configured to use the DEM worker set as the proxy. This ensures that the traffic originating from vRA is sent to vCloud Air via the DEM worker acting as a proxy.

C. vCloud Air endpoint has been configured to use the proxy server hostname:

This requirement is not correct. The vCloud Air endpoint should not be configured to use the proxy server hostname as this would bypass the DEM worker acting as a proxy. Instead, the vCloud Air endpoint should be configured to use the DEM worker set as the proxy.

D. vCloud Air proxy agent is configured for internet access:

This requirement is also not correct. The vCloud Air proxy agent is not required for integrating vRA with vCloud Air via a web proxy. The DEM worker acting as a proxy is sufficient for establishing a connection between vRA and vCloud Air.

In summary, the two requirements that allow vRealize Automation to integrate with vCloud Air via a web proxy are:

  1. The DEM worker is configured for internet access via the proxy, and
  2. The vCloud Air endpoint has been configured to use the DEM worker set as the proxy.
