We have two private-cloud options for building Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) with VMware:

• vRealize Automation
• Integrated OpenStack

vRealize Automation helps to achieve IT automation by creating a tailor-made infrastructure, workloads, and applications hosted across hybrid cloud. VMware Integrated OpenStack is an OpenStack distribution with direct support from VMware, which helps customers to build an enterprise-class OpenStack cloud on the ever-reliable vSphere engine. It enhances performance with easy-to-use and vendor-independent OpenStack API access to the VMware environment. This chapter will brief you on creating MLaaS using VMware vRealize Automation.
