What is vcloud director wiki

The first approach is not always possible especially if you use vSAN only and have no external storage available. Then you have to go with the Linux VM approach. But not anymore. It is imported to understand that although we have 4 vSAN FS agents deployed, the TransferShare will be provided via single container — in my case it is the one with IP So what happens if the host esxa.

The share will fail over to another host. This took in my tests around seconds. During that time the NFS share will not be accessible but the mount should persist and once the failover finishes it will become accessible again.

Also note that maintenance mode of the host will not vMotion the agent. It will just shut it down and after while undeploy and rely on the above mechanism to fail over the share to another agent. To quickly summarize my situation. Very brief blog post to document how to install vCloud Director with external database that does not support plain text connections. In general the process is to do the initial set up with plain text DB connection and then switch to TLS — see the official docs here.

That will however not work if the external database supports only TLS connection. Intro VMware Cloud Director relies on NSX network virtualization platform to provide on-demand creation and management of networks and networking services. The latest Cloud Director version All overlay and underlay networks managed by NSX-T are called logical segments. Instead they are services running on shared Edge Cluster. While T0 and T1 Gateways are similar they are not identical, and each has specific purpose or set of services it can offer.

Distributed routing is implicitly provided by the platform unless a stateful networking service requires routing through single point. Routed : Network that is connected to T1 GW. Cloud Director version This is for a specific NFV use case. Such network is connected directly to T0 GW with external interface. Note this feature is not officially supported! Note that only Isolated and routed networks can be created by tenants. I would further recommend that when the next version of vCloud Automation Center whatever comes after 5.

The reason for this is there is no in-place upgrade path from vCloud Automation Center 5. So you might as well wait for the next version to become available if you can, or be prepared to stay on vCAC 5.

I know a couple of customers that are on vCAC 5. VCDX-Cloud will probably be valuable only to public cloud service providers in the future, or to VMware Partners that are providing consulting and services around private and public clouds.

I would encourage anyone that is working for a public cloud provider or is planning to work for a public cloud provider based on VMware vCloud Director technology to go through the vCloud Director based certifications. There are probably many reasons why VMware has chosen this new path for vCloud Director Enterprise customers. Partners were very slow to support backing up and restoring vCloud Director, especially the tenant objects this can be done now with partner provided solutions.

What business problems was it actually going to solve, what was the ROI and what were the benefits hint: refer to the start of this article for some? Whatever the reasons are I think this change is a good thing. It will allow VMware to deliver solutions over time that solves the Enterprise and Service Provider use cases, is simpler and more automated, more focused.

For Enterprises the solution will have much easier integration into the wider VMware product stack. All the while protecting existing investments and providing massive value.

But it would be incredibly difficult for most as there is no training, none of the prerequisite certs are based on vCAC, and then you need a panel that can conduct the defence. If you're a vCAC expert you'd have to get through all the vCloud Director certifications before even submitting a design, and if you're not interested or experienced with vCloud Director in enough detail that will be incredibly hard.

I'd say there are very few in that category at the moment. So while it's possible. Failed to load latest commit information.
