Use these tables to obtain footprint estimates of the resources for Cloud Foundation on VxRail.
Base Virtual Machines for every Cloud Foundation Management workload domain
Domain | Component | vCPUs | Memory (GB) | Storage (GB) |
Management | SDDC Manager | 4 | 16 | 800 |
Management | vCenter | 8 | 24 | 500 |
Management | NSX-T Manager 1 | 6 | 24 | 200 |
Management | NSX-T Manager 2 | 6 | 24 | 200 |
Management | NSX-T Manager 3 | 6 | 24 | 200 |
Note: NSX-T Manager and NSX-T edge devices can be deployed in three sizes: Small, Medium, Large. Cloud Builder deploys the ‘Medium’ sized NSX-T Manager virtual appliances into the management workload domain.
Virtual Machines deployed in Cloud Foundation Management workload domain for each Cloud Foundation VI workload domain
Domain | Component | vCPUs | Memory (GB) | Storage (GB) |
Management | vCenter | 8 | 24 | 500 |
Virtual Machines deployed in Cloud Foundation VI Workload Domain to support the Application Virtual Network. The default size is ‘Medium’.
Domain | Component | vCPUs | Memory (GB) | Storage (GB) |
Workload | NSX-T Edge 1 | 4 | 8 | 120 |
Workload | NSX-T Edge 2 | 4 | 8 | 120 |
Virtual Machines deployed in Cloud Foundation Management workload domain for each Cloud Foundation VI workload domain which does not use a shared NSX-T management instance. The default size is ‘Large’.
Domain | Component | vCPUs | Memory (GB) | Storage (GB) |
Management | NSX-T Manager 1 | 8 | 32 | 200 |
Management | NSX-T Manager 2 | 8 | 32 | 200 |
Management | NSX-T Manager 3 | 8 | 32 | 200 |
Virtual Machines deployed in Cloud Foundation Management workload domain for each Cloud Foundation VI workload domain for Kubernetes which does not use a shared NSX‑T management instance. The default size is ‘Large’.
Domain | Component | vCPUs | Memory (GB) | Storage (GB) |
Management | NSX-T Manager 1 | 8 | 32 | 200 |
Management | NSX-T Manager 2 | 8 | 32 | 200 |
Management | NSX-T Manager 3 | 8 | 32 | 200 |
Virtual Machines deployed in one of the Cloud Foundation Management workload domains to support NSX-T Federation across regions. The size of the virtual machines depends on the size of the federation under management, either Medium or Large.
Domain | Component | vCPUs | Memory (GB) | Storage (GB) |
Management | NSX-T Global Manager 1 | 6/12 | 24/48 | 300 |
Management | NSX-T Global Manager 2 | 6/12 | 24/48 | 300 |
Management | NSX-T Global Manager 3 | 6/12 | 24/48 | 300 |
The following table lists the sizing to prepare for a vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager download and deployment.
Note: Cloud Foundation on VxRail does not automate the deployment or the life cycle management of the other vRealize Suite components. vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager is used to deploy and manage those components.
Component | vCPUs | Memory (GB) | Storage (GB) | |
Management | vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager | 4 | 16 | 135 |
