+# Configure Aria Operations for Azure VMware Solution
 
-vRealize Operations is an operations management platform that allows VMware infrastructure administrators to monitor system resources. These system resources could be application-level or infrastructure level (both physical and virtual) objects. Most VMware administrators use vRealize Operations to monitor and manage the VMware private cloud components – vCenter Server, ESXi, NSX-T Data Center, vSAN, and VMware HCX. Each provisioned Azure VMware Solution private cloud includes a dedicated vCenter Server, NSX-T Data Center, vSAN, and HCX deployment.

-Thoroughly review [Before you begin](#before-you-begin) and [Prerequisites](#prerequisites) first. Then, we walk you through the two typical deployment topologies:
-
-> [!div class="checklist"]
-> * [On-premises vRealize Operations managing Azure VMware Solution deployment](#on-premises-vrealize-operations-managing-azure-vmware-solution-deployment)
-> * [vRealize Operations Cloud managing Azure VMware Solution deployment](#vrealize-operations-cloud-managing-azure-vmware-solution-deployment)
+Thoroughly review [Before you begin](#before-you-begin) and [Prerequisites](#prerequisites) first.
 
 ## Before you begin
-* Review the [vRealize Operations Manager product documentation](https://docs.vmware.com/en/vRealize-Operations-Manager/8.1/com.vmware.vcom.vapp.doc/GUID-7FFC61A0-7562-465C-A0DC-46D092533984.html) to learn more about deploying vRealize Operations.
+* Review the [Aria Operations product documentation](https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Aria-Operations/index.html) to learn more about deploying Aria Operations.
 * Review the basic Azure VMware Solution Software-Defined Datacenter (SDDC) [tutorial series](tutorial-network-checklist.md).
-* Optionally, review the [vRealize Operations Remote Controller](https://docs.vmware.com/en/vRealize-Operations-Manager/8.1/com.vmware.vcom.vapp.doc/GUID-263F9219-E801-4383-8A59-E84F3D01ED6B.html) product documentation for the on-premises vRealize Operations managing Azure VMware Solution deployment option.
+* Optionally, review the [Aria Operations Remote Collector Nodes](https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Aria-Operations/8.14/Getting-Started-Operations/GUID-263F9219-E801-4383-8A59-E84F3D01ED6B.html) product documentation for the on-premises Aria Operations managing Azure VMware Solution deployment option.
 
 ## Prerequisites
-* [vRealize Operations Manager](https://docs.vmware.com/en/vRealize-Operations-Manager/8.1/com.vmware.vcom.vapp.doc/GUID-7FFC61A0-7562-465C-A0DC-46D092533984.html) installed.
-* A VPN or an Azure ExpressRoute configured between on-premises and Azure VMware Solution SDDC.
+* [Aria Operations](https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Aria-Operations/8.14/Getting-Started-Operations/GUID-69F7FAD8-3152-4376-9171-2208D6C9FA3A.html) is installed.
 * An Azure VMware Solution private cloud is deployed in Azure.
+* A VPN or an Azure ExpressRoute configured between on-premises and Azure VMware Solution private cloud.
 
-## On-premises vRealize Operations managing Azure VMware Solution deployment
-Most customers have an existing on-premises deployment of vRealize Operations to manage one or more on-premises vCenter Server domains. When they provision an Azure VMware Solution private cloud, they connect their on-premises environment with their private cloud using an Azure ExpressRoute or a Layer 3 VPN solution.

When they provision an Azure VMware Solution private cloud, they connect their on-premises environment with their private cloud using an Azure ExpressRoute or a Layer 3 VPN solution.

-To extend the vRealize Operations capabilities to the Azure VMware Solution private cloud, you create an adapter [instance for the private cloud resources](https://docs.vmware.com/en/vRealize-Operations-Manager/8.1/com.vmware.vcom.config.doc/GUID-640AD750-301E-4D36-8293-1BFEB67E2600.html). It collects data from the Azure VMware Solution private cloud and brings it into on-premises vRealize Operations. The on-premises vRealize Operations Manager instance can directly connect to the vCenter Server and NSX-T Manager on Azure VMware Solution. Optionally, you can deploy a vRealize Operations Remote Collector on the Azure VMware Solution private cloud. The collector compresses and encrypts the data collected from the private cloud before it's sent over the ExpressRoute or VPN network to the vRealize Operations Manager running on-premises.

 ## Known limitations
 
-- The **[email protected]** user in Azure VMware Solution has [limited privileges](concepts-identity.md).  Virtual machines (VMs) on Azure VMware Solution doesn't support in-guest memory collection using VMware tools.  Active and consumed memory utilization continues to work in this case.
+- The **[email protected]** user in Azure VMware Solution has [limited privileges](concepts-identity.md). Virtual machines (VMs) on Azure VMware Solution doesn't support in-guest memory collection using VMware tools. Active and consumed memory utilization continues to work in this case.
 - Workload optimization for host-based business intent doesn't work because Azure VMware Solutions manage cluster configurations, including DRS settings.
-- Workload optimization for the cross-cluster placement within the SDDC using the cluster-based business intent is fully supported with vRealize Operations Manager 8.0  and onwards. However, workload optimization isn't aware of resource pools and places the VMs at the cluster level. A user can manually correct it in the Azure VMware Solution vCenter Server interface.
-- You can't sign in to vRealize Operations Manager using your Azure VMware Solution vCenter Server credentials.
-- Azure VMware Solution doesn't support the vRealize Operations Manager plugin.

-When you connect the Azure VMware Solution vCenter Server to vRealize Operations Manager using a vCenter Server Cloud Account, you see a warning:
+When you connect the Azure VMware Solution vCenter Server to Aria Operations using a vCenter Server CloudAdmin Account, you see a warning:
 
 :::image type="content" source="./media/vrealize-operations-manager/warning-adapter-instance-creation-succeeded.png" alt-text="Screenshot shows a Warning message that states the adapter instance was created successfully.":::
 
 The warning occurs because the **[email protected]** user in Azure VMware Solution doesn't have sufficient privileges to do all vCenter Server actions required for registration. However, the privileges are sufficient for the adapter instance to do data collection, as seen in the following example:
