    Study Notes

    Prerequisites for VMware Cloud Foundation Deployment

    • Hardware Requirements:

    • Robust, high-performance hardware is essential for optimal vSphere and component performance and stability. Sufficient CPU cores, RAM, and storage capacity are critical, considering total capacity rather than individual system capacities.

    • Adequate network bandwidth and low latency are needed for seamless VM and component communication. Plan for projected growth and scale of the deployment for future-proofing.

    • Dedicated, sufficient network resources are needed for VMware vCenter Server and distributed components. Physical hardware must adhere to VMware recommended specifications.

    • Consider expected scale and workloads when selecting hardware for future growth.

    • Operating System Requirements:

    • vCenter Server and component operating systems must be VMware-supported versions. Ensure compatibility with vSphere and other required components. Implement the recommended OS versions and configurations.

    • Network Requirements:

    • A high-speed, low-latency network is crucial for vSphere, vCenter and other service efficiency.

    • Proper network configuration enabling VM communication is necessary, including protocols and subnets.

    • Sufficient network bandwidth and segmentation is required for vCenter, ESXi hosts, other critical resources, and external network access.

    • Storage Requirements:

    • Sufficient storage capacity is needed for VMs and critical data. High-performance storage is ideal. Various storage types are needed (e.g., disk space for VMs, data storage). Storage requirements depend on VM count, storage capacity, and network traffic.

    • vCenter Server and ESXi Host Software:

    • Validated vCenter and ESXi versions are required.

    • Obtain and configure appropriate vCenter Server and ESXi host licenses. Adhere to VMware licensing terms and conditions.

    • Security Considerations:

    • Robust security measures (firewalls, intrusion detection systems, access controls) are vital to protect against unauthorized access, malicious activity, and data breaches.

    • Implement access control, logging, and monitoring for secure centralized management. Protect both virtual and physical infrastructure.

    • Resource and Capacity Planning:

    • Extensive capacity planning is essential for future growth and resource needs. Define anticipated scale and workloads. Analyze resource allocation for optimal performance. Establish resource and capacity plans to handle future growth and evolution.

    • Compliance and Governance:

    • Ensure alignment with organizational compliance requirements (policies, regulations, standards). Consider data privacy and security regulations. Obtain approvals and adhere to documented procedures. Maintain documentation for chosen compliance/governance models.

    • Backup and Recovery Strategy:

    • A robust backup and recovery strategy is vital to prevent data loss and downtime. Establish disaster recovery and business continuity mechanisms. Use frequent backups and offsite storage. This includes planned recovery procedures.

    • VMware vRealize Suite integration:

    • Ensure VMware vRealize Suite integration with the deployment, as it is often used for management and automation tasks. Ensure all pre-requisites for integrating vRealize products are met.
