This is because according to VMware documentation1, a VI workload domain consists of one or more vSphere clusters that run customer workloads. To enable workload management for a VI workload domain, you need to have an NSX-T edge cluster that provides north-south connectivity and load balancing for Kubernetes clusters2. The minimum requirement for creating an NSX-T edge cluster is two edge nodes34. The size of the edge nodes depends on the throughput and features required, but for high availability, large size is recommended5.

To provide identity and access management services to the cross-instance SDDC components, you create a global environment in vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager in which you deploy a 3-node clustered Workspace ONE Access instance.

Workspace ONE Access is a service that provides identity and access management for the VMware Cloud Foundation environment. It enables single sign-on, multi-factor authentication, conditional access policies, and user lifecycle management for the SDDC components and workloads12

vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager is a service that provides lifecycle management for the vRealize Suite products, such as vRealize Automation, vRealize Operations Manager, vRealize Log Insight, and Workspace ONE Access. It automates the deployment, configuration, patching, upgrading, and scaling of these products34

When you deploy a 3-node clustered Workspace ONE Access instance using vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager, you are creating a highly available identity and access management service for your VMware Cloud Foundation environment.

12-29 vSphere Lifecycle Manager Baselines and Images

You use vSphere Lifecycle Manager baselines and baseline groups to perform the following tasks:

• Upgrade and patch ESXi hosts. •

Install and update third-party software on ESXi hosts.

You use vSphere Lifecycle Manager images to perform the following tasks: •

Install the desired ESXi version. • Install and update third-party software on ESXi hosts in a cluster.

• Update and upgrade the ESXi version in a cluster. • Update ESXi host firmware in a cluster. • Generate and use a recommended image for your cluster. • Check the hardware compatibility of hosts and clusters.

A supported function of the vSphere Lifecycle Manager (LCM) in VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) is to check hardware compatibility of hosts and clusters. This function allows you to verify that the hosts and clusters in your VCF environment meet the requirements for the desired state image that you want to apply. You can also view the compatibility status and details of each host and cluster in the SDDC Manager dashboard1.

"When more capacity is needed, scaling the consolidated design is an option but a much better design option for a larger scale is to use workload domains. After you reach 8 or 10 nodes in the consolidated design, consider migrating to a standard design. If you migrate to a standard design, the default small vCenter Server Appliance size should be enough for most designs."

 According to the VMware Cloud Foundation documentation1, a consolidated architecture is suitable for smaller deployments that have 6 or fewer nodes, while a standard architecture is recommended for larger deployments that have more than 6 nodes. A consolidated architecture has some limitations and trade-offs compared to a standard architecture, such as less scalability, flexibility, and isolation. Therefore, if the customer’s workload demand increases and requires more capacity, migrating to a standard architecture should be considered.

This is because according to VMware documentation2, these are some of the features that are supported when implementing NSX Federation:

• NAT operations: You can configure NAT rules for Tier-0 gateways across locations.
• Load Balancer: You can configure load balancer services for Tier-0 gateways across locations.

This is because according to VMware documentation6, when integrating Microsoft Certificate Authority with SDDC Manager, you need to configure basic authentication on the Microsoft Certificate Authority Server and provide valid credentials when establishing a connection from SDDC Manager.

SDDC Manager is the tool that can be used to add a new vSphere cluster to an existing VI workload domain. SDDC Manager provides a unified interface for managing the lifecycle of the VMware Cloud Foundation components, including creating and expanding workload domains.

• VMware Cloud Foundation Specialist (v2), Objective 4.1: Given a scenario, identify the steps to add a new vSphere cluster to an existing VI workload domain.

This is because according to VMware documentation, this is the procedure for deleting a VMware Cloud Foundation Workload Domain and re-using its ESXi hosts:

• Decommission all ESXi hosts in a cluster
• Delete all clusters in a workload domain
• Delete workload domain
• Re-image ESXi hosts using SDDC Manager
