Study Notes

VMware Cloud Foundation 5.2 Bundle Types

VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) 5.2 provides various bundles tailored for different deployment scenarios and needs, distinguished by included software licenses and pre-configured infrastructure.
Key distinctions between bundles include specific vSphere components, vSAN capacity, vCPU, vRAM resources, and pre-configured applications.
Foundation Bundle: The base bundle, providing core vSphere components to build a cloud foundation environment. It doesn't include pre-configured applications or licensing for them, placing that responsibility on the customer.
Application Bundle: Builds on the Foundation Bundle by adding pre-configured, specialized application stacks like vRealize Operations Manager, vRealize Log Insight, and potentially vRealize Automation. Licensing for these bundled applications is included. This simplifies management, monitoring, and automation.
Managed Services Bundle: Extends on the Application Bundle by offering dedicated support and maintenance for the whole VCF deployment. This includes problem resolution and routine maintenance/patching tasks, reducing customer management overhead.
vSAN Bundle: A specialized bundle tailored for high-performance storage needs, focusing on Virtual SAN configurations within the VMware Cloud Foundation environment.
Standard, Tailored, and Scale-out Bundles: Existing bundle types mentioned before, still available. These bundles differ in the resources like vSAN capacity and vCPU/vRAM resources.
Sizing Considerations: Choosing the right bundle depends on required size and performance specifications. Bundles come with various computational and storage capabilities. Customization within each bundle type allows fine-tuning to individual needs.
Pre-configured networking and security streamline initial setup.
Bundle selection depends on projected VM count, applications, storage needs, handling future growth, and performance requirements. Carefully evaluating each bundle's specific features is important to meet current and future infrastructure needs.
