After Cloud Builder has completed the initial phase of deploying the Cloud Foundation management workload domain, the next phase is to deploy the Cloud Foundation VI workload domains to support use cases and workload requirements, except for the single-domain consolidated architectures. For this phase, SDDC Manager uses the supplied configuration settings to automate building the underlying VxRail cluster, and configuring the VI workload domain.
The initialization of a VI workload domain lays down the basic foundation for the future deployment of virtual machines and their network interconnections. SDDC Manager can also deploy a workload domain to address a specific use case. This action, depending on the option, can alter the pre-requisites and requirements that must be addressed before configuring the workload domain.
This section provides an overview of the workload domains that can be created with Cloud Foundation on VxRail to address specific use cases, and raise awareness of the impact these choices have on the planning and preparation phase. The specific details on how to implement a VI workload domain for a specific use can be found in the Cloud Foundation documentation on the VMware support site: VMware Cloud Foundation Documentation.
