Full-Automation Mode
Full-automation mode is implemented through a Cisco or third-party orchestrator. An orchestrator allows the
network operator to access, provision, and automate computing, storage, and network resources. Cisco Unified
Fabric supports any northbound system using REST API. It currently integrates closely with the following three
orchestration applications:
●
Cisco UCS Director Release 4.1.0.3 or later
●
OpenStack
5
●
VMware vCloud Director

Based on open source software Juno release with Cisco Dynamic Fabric Automation (DFA) plug-in developed at Cisco.
OpenStack for Cisco DFA software is currently packaged with Cisco OpenStack Installer. More details:

VMware vCloud Director uses Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP) instead of the REST API. The adaptor that listens
to the AMQP notifications and calls REST API’s to populate the LDAP database is packaged with Cisco Prime DCNM.
