Furthermore, vRA requires advanced programming skills to connect systems and automate processes at depth, and we were struggling to find enough resources to meet business demand." The company knew it wanted the ability to codelessly integrate vRA with multiple resources—without having to be experts in a coding language. "My team and I are not coding experts and we're struggling to find bodies and or budget to get integrations written so we can automate process and do more with less people…somewhat ironic," said the leader of the project. They needed policies-driven integration to provide better control post-build and dashboards that could provide clear views into integration contents. They also wanted better AWS support and a single UI to manage all public cloud workloads. Even with a looming End-of-Support (EOS) date for vRA 7 in September 2022, the company did not hesitate in making the decision to remain on the vRA platform and upgrade to vRA 8, but they realized they needed to start getting serious about the migration. Ultimately, the company's goal was to find a way to reduce complexity, add governance to integrations/automations, and increase overall visibility in a way that vRA inherently was never designed to do.
