You can now monitor all your cloud operations from the Multi-Cloud Overview page in VMware Aria Operations. This overview page provides a comprehensive understanding of your cloud accounts which includes their geo-location, top objects or services, and alerts. You can also view the capacity and time remaining, and the cost for your entire VMware Cloud Infrastructure or individual VMware clouds.

The multi-cloud overview page provides a consolidated view of all the cloud accounts on the All Clouds page. The different tiles provide insights into the location, health, cost, and inventory of your cloud accounts.

World Map tile - You use the world map to view the total number of locations and the different locations of your configured cloud accounts. The map shows numbers at different locations that signify groups of accounts. Multiple accounts in a given area, are grouped to provide a more consolidated look. You can hover over the numbers to view the area that the grouped accounts belong to or click the number to zoom in and view accounts in that specific area. You can click an account to open the account summary tab. For more information see the 'Summary Tab' topic in the VMware Aria Operations User Guide.
Note: If multiple accounts of the same account type use the same region, it is counted as a single location. The map also shows the total number of configured SDDCs for VMware clouds (OCVS, VMC, VMC-D, VCF, GCVE, and AVS).

Inventory tile - Displays the total number of configured accounts under each cloud account type. It also provides the summarized resources count (storage, compute, container, applications, and business applications) for the whole cloud infrastructure.

VMware Cloud tile - There are three sections under the VMware Cloud tile. You can view the capacity and the time remaining before the capacity runs out. If no data is displayed as part of the capacity and time remaining sections, check your account configuration and make sure they are collecting data.

The VMware Cloud tile also displays the total cost of ownership, potential savings, and realized savings. The cost is the aggregated value for all VMware clouds. The amount displayed is calculated from the first of the month to the current date. This value is reset at the beginning of every month.

Public Cloud Top Services tile - Displays the list of the top public cloud services in VMware Aria Operations .

Alerts Volume tile - Displays the total number of alerts that are in the critical, immediate, and warning state. The alert information is consolidated for all the cloud accounts and is represented graphically dating back a month from the current date.

Sustainability for VMware Cloud tile - Displays the sustainability status of your VMware Cloud that includes its green score, power consumption, carbon footprint, and overall environmental impact. To view the sustainability information in more detail, click View Sustainability. For more information, see the 'Sustainability' topic in the VMware Aria Operations Configuration Guide.

The multi-cloud overview page also provides details for the following VMware and public cloud accounts in VMware Aria Operations .
  • vCenter
  • VMware Cloud on Dell EMC (VMC-D)
  • VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF)
  • VMware Cloud on AWS (VMC on AWS)
  • Google Cloud VMware Engine (GCVE)
  • Oracle Cloud VMware Solution (OCVS)
  • Azure VMware Solution (AVS)
  • Amazon Web Services (AWS)
  • Microsoft Azure
  • Google Cloud Platform (GCP)

All the values shown on the All Clouds page might not match with the respective metrics at the individual cloud levels. That is because the metric at the All Cloud level has values aggregated for all clouds that include VMware and public clouds.

You can select the individual VMware or public cloud to view the account details. The tiles get updated to reflect values associated with that account.

Note:

No data is displayed for cloud accounts that do not have a configured account. To add a cloud account, click Add Account. For more information see the 'Adding Accounts' topic in the VMware Aria Operations Configuration Guide.

VMware Cloud - Example: vCenter Cloud Account

The values displayed in the individual VMware cloud accounts like vCenter, VMware Cloud on Dell EMC, VMware Cloud on AWS, VMware Cloud Foundation, Azure VMware Solution, Oracle Cloud VMware Solution, and Google Cloud VMware Engine are based on their total number of accounts.
