This chapter is primarily focused on describing the power of Advanced Service Designer. The combination of ASD and vRealize Orchestrator can create XaaS or Anything as a Service. While we kept our focus on the basics, Advanced Service Design contains instructions on creating the major building blocks of an advanced service, such as resource types, service blueprints, and resource actions. Additionally, information about managing catalog items, organizing them into services, and publishing the services to service catalogs is a huge topic, which is beyond the scope of this book. The examples used in this chapter are quite simple for an effortless understanding. I would encourage you to try more use cases using different workflows once you grab the basics of ASD from this chapter. Happy learning!

Overview of this book
With the growing interest in Software Defined Data Centers (SDDC), vRealize Automation offers data center users an organized service catalog and governance for administrators. This way, end users gain autonomy while the IT department stays in control, making sure security and compliance requirements are met. Learning what each component does and how they dovetail with each other will bolster your understanding of vRealize Automation.
The book starts off with an introduction to the distributed architecture that has been tested and installed in large scale deployments. Implementing and configuring distributed architecture with custom certificates is unarguably a demanding task, and it will be covered next. After this, we will progress with the installation. A vRealize Automation blueprint can be prepared in multiple ways; we will focus solely on vSphere endpoint blueprint. After this, we will discuss the high availability configuration via NSX loadbalancer for vRealize Orchestrator. Finally, we end with Advanced Service Designer, which provides service architects with the ability to create advanced services and publish them as catalog items.
