AutoConfigurer is a process of deleting “RETIRED” resources from vRA 8.x environment.
The moment it’s marked as retired in the next data collection cycle it’s deleted from vRA
Here’s a simple test performed in my lab
Deployed a test deployment
![]()
Here are the details of the deployment

Deployment details on the vCenter
![]()
Checked the latest data collection if it happened
![]()
Powered off the virtual machine which belongs to the deployment
![]()
Deleted the virtual machine
![]()
Data Collection yet to start in 4 minutes
![]()
Deployment History of this machine
![]()
Detected as powered off
![]()
Data Collection about to be executed
![]()
Remember , this machine or resource has already been deleted from the vCenter
After the new data collection cycle is complete
![]()
This is where your AutoConfigurer will delete the resource after marking it as RETIRED
