This is one of the project which I had in my To Do list and recently I managed to complete it .
Here is the Backhand flow ,how the communication works in backhand .
While sending the traffic from OkGoogle to VRA.
While sending the traffic from OkGoogle to vRLCM.
Once operation is performed in VRA and send the traffic back to Google Assistant.
Once operation is performed in vRLCM and send the traffic back to Google Assistant.
Later I performed VRA upgrade also Here is the Demo video for that.
.Here is the Backhand code of web server , I have removed the IDs which are related to my environment.
from VRA import listcatalogItems, submitBuild
