Deployment

Environment and Connection Requirements

Category	Description
Strict Naming Convention	The adapter's discovery engine explicitly requires Aria Operations Custom Groups (of type Stretch) to be named using the [ClusterName] - [Location] format.
Cloud Proxy to Registry	A reliable connection between the Cloud Proxy and registry.indevops.com is required, accessible via port 443 to pull container updates.
Aria Operations Access	The addon operates entirely within the Aria Operations environment, requiring internal API access to query Native vSphere Clusters and Custom Groups for capacity aggregation.
