About this episode

The episode discusses the practical aspects of designing VMware Cloud Foundation 9.1 environments at scale.

Behind every feature in VMware Cloud Foundation 9.1 is the work that makes it actually run at scale. In this episode, Pete and John sit down with Emad Younis to unpack the details practitioners care about most. From fleet architecture and latency planning to sizing at massive scale, Emad breaks down how to think about designing VCF environments in the real world. They also cover the shift from SDDC Manager to VCF Operations, how to approach upgrades without going all-in on day one, and what it really means to operate across thousands of hosts. If you’re planning, designing, or scaling VCF, this is the episode that connects the dots.
