VMware Cloud on AWS Scripts

Be sure to review the article regarding this repo here: https://www.livefire.solutions/cloud-services/bulk-creation-of-vmc-on-aws-sddcs/

Purpose: The scripts contained in this repository interact with the VMware Cloud on AWS REST API. As such, they read a text file named .vmc-aws-auth.txt in your home directory. The files should be well-documented with comments so be sure to review them before running.

(NOTE: If you run one of the scripts and the file is not found, you will be prompted for the necessary information and the file will be created for you!)

For reference, the contents of that config file are as follows:

# Organization Name: Your Organization Name here
export ORGID="your-organization-id-here"
export REFRESH_TOKEN="your-refresh-token-here"

The scripts can be used as-is or as building-blocks/starting points for your own SDDC automation, assuming you have a VMware Cloud on AWS account!

Organization level scripts:

• /org/get-vmc-org-json.sh : Retrieves details for the specified organization and outputs them into ORG_INFO.json

• /sddc/get-vmc-sddcs-json.sh : Gets details on all SDDCs created in the specified organization and outputs them into SDDCS_INFO.json
• /sddc/show-sddcs-info.sh : this script will process and display a summary from the SDDCS_INFO.json file generated by the /sddc/get-vmc-sddcs-json.sh script
• /sddc/get-vmc-sddc-info.sh : Displays a summary for the given SDDC, and outputs the info to SDDC_INFO.json
• /sddc/create-vmc-sddc-by-name.sh : Creates 1 or more SDDCs using the specified parameters or safe defaults. Note that if a provider is not specified or is not typed correctly, then ZEROCLOUD will be used by default so that no charges result from an accidentally deployed SDDC.
• /sddc/create-vmc-sddc-by-file.sh : Creates 1 or more SDDCs using the specified parameters or safe defaults. Note that if a provider is not specified or is not typed correctly, then ZEROCLOUD will be used by default so that no charges result from an accidentally deployed SDDC. In this case, a filename is provided that should have SDDC names on each line (1 per line) of the file
• /sddc/cleanup-vmc-sddcs-by-file.sh : Cleans up SDDCs specified in the cleanup file that was genterated by the create-vmc-sddc-by-file.sh script
• /sddc/cleanup-vmc-sddcs-by-name.sh : Cleans up SDDCs that begin with the name/prefix specified
