Workflow Automation on VMware - Installation

darraghos — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 10:44:15 GMT

Looking at running a POC of WFA. I see it comes as a .EXE download for Windows server and a .bin file. Is there no OVA/OVF for Vmware or the like?

How about looking at Ansible instead?
As per NetApp, WFA is (slowly) going away.

@bkamil can you point me to the NetApp indication that WFA is no longer under development etc. ?

Hi Darraghos,

No, there is no OVA for WFA. You can find more information about our Ansible capabilities here: NetApp and Ansible: Configuration Management & Automation.

Team NetApp

Thanks for the replies. Just to close off you need to install the .bin file in Linux directly. From speaking with NetAPp they are putting their efforts into RestAPI and Ansible in their products suites going forward and moving away from zAPI
