If you are using vCloud Director or vRealize Automation you will know that both products allow for custom extensibility via similar frameworks by being able to utilize a message bus to trigger workflows based on events. This blog post will explore how to achieve a similar outcome using VMware Integrated OpenStack.

By default the RabbitMQ bus is configured for internal consumption only in a VMware Integrated OpenStack deployment. The service is configured using ClusterIP which we can easily change over to NodePort using the following command.

Let's take a quick look at what TCI, TCP, TCA and TCOPs are and how they fit into a Telco Cloud environment.

VMware recently did a couple of renames and reshuffles around the telco product portfolio, evolving what used to be vCloud NFV to Telco Cloud Infrastructure and introducing a couple of other technology bundles to go along with this. Depending on the business goals and technical requirements building a modern telco cloud platform can take many different approaches, shapes and sizes. So let's start by looking what the different offerings are from a VMware perspective, which use cases they mainly cover and how you may combine them when building a shared telco cloud.
