The VMware Event Broker Appliance Fling enables customers to unlock the hidden
potential of events in their SDDC to easily create event-driven automation.
The VMware Event Broker Appliance includes support for vCenter Server and VMware
Horizon events as well as any valid CloudEvent through the native webhook
event provider. Easily triggering custom or prebuilt actions to deliver powerful
integrations within your datacenter across public cloud has never been more
easier before. A detailed list of use cases and possibilities with VMware Event
Broker Appliance is available here
With this solution, end-users, partners and independent software vendors only have to write minimal business logic without going through a steep learning curve understanding the vSphere or Horizon APIs. As such, we believe this solution not only offers a better user experience in solving existing problems for VI/Cloud Admins, SRE/Operators, Automation Engineers and 3rd Party Vendors. More importantly, it will enable new integration use cases and workflows to grow the VMware ecosystem and community, similar to what AWS has achieved with AWS Lambda.
