In this demo, we move from basic API calls to a full GitOps-driven model for managing your VMware infrastructure. Maintaining consistency across multiple clusters and workload domains is a challenge at scale. By treating your infrastructure as code (IaC), you can version, audit, and automate your configurations using the same workflows developers use for software. What’s covered in this video: * Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Why moving away from manual UI operations is critical for cloud architects. * The GitOps Workflow: How we combine VCP REST APIs, GitHub Repositories, and GitHub Actions. * Smart Change Detection: Watch how the automation only triggers updates for modified cluster JSON files. * Safety First: See the asynchronous lifecycle in action—from eligibility checks to draft validation—ensuring production remains untouched if a config fails. 🔗 Important Links & Resources * GitHub Action Repository: https://github.com/jpurohit92/configprofile * VCP Automation Part 1 (APIs): https://blogs.vmware.com/cloud-foundation/2026/01/22/vsphere-configuration-profile/ * VCP Automation Part 2 (PowerCLI & Python): https://blogs.vmware.com/cloud-foundation/2026/02/18/automating-vsphere-configuration-profile-apis-part-2-powercli-and-python-sample-code/
