Use PowervRA to Manage the VMware vRA 7.x

PowervRA is a PowerShell module built on top of the services exposed by the vRealize Automation 7 REST API.

Note: this module is not in any way developed or supported by anyone officially affiliated with VMware

Compatibility

vRA: version 6.2.4, 7.0 and 7.0.1 - Note: support for 6.2.4 is limited given API restrictions. Functions which don't support 6.2.4 will exit early and cleanly.

PowerShell: version 4 is required. We haven't tested yet with version 5, although we wouldn't expect significant issues.
