- It supports traditional and new workloads.
- VMware Cloud Foundation enables hybrid cloud environments.
- VMware Cloud Foundation can be used in both private and public environments.
VMware Cloud Foundation Architecture and Components
- VMware Cloud Builder: A virtual appliance for initial management domain deployment and validation (credentials, DNS, network).
- Management Domain: Contains the management components for the VMware Cloud Foundation instance (vSphere cluster, vCenter appliance, NSX Management cluster, SDDC Manager).
- vSphere: The core virtualization platform containing ESXi hosts and vCenter.
- vSAN: Aggregates local storage, creating a shared storage pool for the VMware Cloud Foundation instance.
- NSX: Provides consistent networking and security across the VMware Cloud Foundation instance.
- vSphere with Tanzu: Turns vSphere into a platform for running native Kubernetes workloads.
- VMware Aria Suite: Automates, deploys, and manages the lifecycle of Workspace ONE Access.
VMware Cloud Foundation Components (Page 3, 5 of document)
- Cloud Builder: Used initially for management domain deployment.
- vCenter: Core virtualization platform.
- vSAN: Aggregates storage.
- NSX: Manages networking.
- SDDC Manager: Configures and operates the VMware Cloud Foundation instance centrally.
Key Capabilities of VMware Cloud Foundation (Page 1 and 2 of document)
- Automated deployment and configuration of software components.
- Life cycle management.
- Support for traditional and new workloads.
- Pathways to hybrid cloud environments.
- Security built into various layers of infrastructure.
SDDC Manager
- It centrally manages the life cycle of all components deployed through VMware Cloud Foundation.
- Updated software component BOMs(Bills of Materials) match the current software versions.
- Ensures compatibility of all updates with the SDDC Manager inventory.
- Automatically handles life cycle management; updates; configuration.
VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle
- Deploys VMware Aria Automation, VMware Aria Operations, VMware Aria Operations for Logs, and Workspace ONE Access.
- Manages the versions of these products to ensure compatibility and allow only supported upgrades.
Which Capabilities Does VMware Cloud Foundation Provide? (Page 3 of document)
It provides these capabilities:
- Automated deployment of software components.
- Life cycle management.
VMware Cloud Foundation Architecture (Page 4 of document)
- VMware Cloud Builder creates the management domain.
- This domain contains a four-node vSphere cluster, and a vCenter appliance configured with vSAN storage and prepared for NSX.
- A SDDC Manager appliance is included.
- VMware Cloud Foundation supports both private and public environments.
VMware Cloud Foundation API
- API Explorer: Located within SDDC Manager, provides a graphical UI for learning about the APIs within SDDC Manager.
- Multiple API types (e.g., Networking, Compute, Security) exist for interactions with VMware Cloud Foundation.
User Management in SDDC Manager
- Managing users, roles, and permissions in VMware Cloud Foundation's SDDC Manager.
- Roles (Admin, Operator, Viewer) have varying levels of access to features.
- Key tasks are changing passwords; deploying/configuring; creating new clusters.
Other Important Details
