POD = Full configuration of all VM's and other endpoints.
I am embarking on some new configuration requirements which involves creating different types of servers and group each set behind a load-balancer for web traffic. I have 4 blueprints and one multi-blueprint that make up the virtual environment. I can and have done this in my sleep using VCO calling VCAC parsing VM properties associating the correct VM's to the proper VIP of the load-balancer. What I want to do is use VCAC as the portal into VCO without using Advanced Services due to the issue of passing the current credentials and VM owners over to the VCO workflows. I would like VCAC portal to handle the build and then pass off to VCO for completion.
My thoughts are to pass stamp the VCAC request ID on all VM's associated as well as the count of systems expected in the POD. I was thinking of having a master VCO workflow that runs every 10 min that looks for incomplete PODs and completes them when all the criteria has been met(Machine is in the On state and all of the VM's count up to the expect pod value.

2x Apache Servers Blueprint 1
1x MySQL server Blueprint 2
2x windows IIS servers Blueprint 3
