# Set up vRealize Operations for Azure VMware Solution

11-
vRealize Operations Manager 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. Historically, most VMware administrators have used vRealize Operations to monitor and manage the VMware private cloud components – vCenter, ESXi, NSX-T, vSAN, and Hybrid Cloud Extension (HCX). Each Azure VMware Solution private cloud is provisioned with a dedicated vCenter, NSX-T, vSAN, and HCX deployment.

## On-premises vRealize Operations managing Azure VMware Solution deployment
33-
Most customers have an existing on-premise deployment of vRealize Operations used to manage one or more on-premise vCenters domains. When customers provision a new Azure VMware Solution private cloud in Azure, they typically connect their on-premise environment with Azure VMware Solution using either an Azure ExpressRoute or using a Layer 3 VPN solution – as shown below.

To extend the vRealize Operations capabilities to the Azure VMware Solution private cloud, you create an adapter [instance for the Azure VMware Solution 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) - to collect data from the Azure VMware Solution private cloud and bring it into on-premises vRealize Operations. The on-premises vRealize Operations Manager instance can directly connect to the vCenter and NSX-T manager on Azure VMware Solution or you can optionally deploy a vRealize Operations Remote Collector on the Azure VMware Solution private cloud. A vRealize Operations Remote Collector compresses and encrypts the data collected from the Azure VMware Solution private cloud before it's sent over the ExpressRoute or VPN network to the vRealize Operations Manager running on-premise.

## Known limitations
5757

58-
- The **[email protected]** user in Azure VMware Solution has [limited privileges](concepts-role-based-access-control.md). In-guest memory collection using VMware tools is not supported with virtual machines (VMs) on Azure VMware Solution. Active and consumed memory utilizations continue to work in this case.
59-
- Workload optimization for host-based business intent does not work because Azure VMware Solutions manage cluster configurations, including DRS settings.
60-
- 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 is not aware of resource pools and places the virtual machines at the cluster level. A user can manually correct this in the Azure VMware Solution vCenter Server interface.
61-
- You cannot sign in to vRealize Operations Manager using your Azure VMware Solution vCenter Server credentials.

- Azure VMware Solution does not support the vRealize Operations Manager plugin.
