The NSX-v Dynamic Types plug-in is a solution built for providing NSX Network & Security as a Service in vCAC. The reason for writing this plug-in was that at the time it was needed there was no solution that could address the requirements including:- Listing NSX objects by list
- Have specific properties for the objects, for example a members list for a security group
- Having specific operations such as the included Data Security scan
- Having specific objects supported in the inventory such as the Services
- Having the plug-in working on vCAC 6.0 / vCO 5.5 U1
- Having the plug-in on a stand alone vCO server
- Some OOTB workflows with plug-in objects as inputs / outputs to use with vCAC
This plug-in is also a good way to learn more about the Dynamic Types technology. It is possible to extend the plug-in with REST operations that can be found in the NSX API guide.
