#116 - A VMware Cloud Foundation constructs primer featuring Gary Blake!

About this episode

Duncan Epping invites Gary Blake to discuss VMware Cloud Foundation constructs and their implications for infrastructure design.

I sometimes get confused when people talk about VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) Fleets, Instances, and Domains! So I decided to invite Gary Blake to the show to explain to us all the various constructs, how they relate to each other, and what you should take into consideration when you are designing a VCF-based infrastructure! You can find the links to some of the discussed articles and documents below. VMware Cloud Foundation 9 Latency Diagram On-Prem VVD for Ransomware Recovery VCF Design Guide
