Determine use cases for Cloud Foundation VI workload domain

  • Before performing an overall sizing effort for Cloud Foundation on VxRail, decisions must be made on the rules and criteria for the creation of VI workload domains within your business. The criteria can be for a range of reasons, for instance:

    • Logical grouping of applications or application sets for streamlined interconnectivity
    • Ease of assigning and controlling a pool of IT resources to internal organizations
    • Managing multiple sites from a single management entity 

    Each of these criteria will impact the resources required to support the workload planned for each domain.

    If plans include the deployment of any additional layers of software, such as VMware’s vRealize product suites, this action will impact the overall size of the management workload domain and associated VI workload domains. The overhead required to support these product suites must be considered with the sizing effort.
