There are configuration maximums associated with various features in VMware Cloud Director service and its underlying infrastructure.
All limits listed are hard limits unless otherwise indicated. A hard limit cannot be changed. Any limit described as a soft limit can be increased upon request. To request an increase of a soft limit, contact VMware Support.
| Maximum | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| VMware Cloud Director instances per customer | 5 (soft limit) | The maximum number of VMware Cloud Director instances in a single VMware Cloud Partner Navigator (CPN) organization. |
| SDDCs per VMware Cloud Director instance | 5 (soft limit) | The maximum number of SDDCs associated with a single VMware Cloud Director instance. |
| Organizations per VMware Cloud Director instance | 1000 | The maximum number of VMware Cloud Director organizations associated with a single VMware Cloud Director instance. |
| Organization VDCs per VMware Cloud Director instance | 1000 | The maximum number of organization VDCs per VMware Cloud Director instance. |
| Compute Gateways per SDDC | 200 | The maximum number of compute gateways per SDDC. |
| Concurrent User Tasks | 128 | The total number of concurrent operations (tasks) that are being processed by a VMware Cloud Director instance. This includes both API and UI-initiated user operations. |
| Virtual machines per VMware Cloud Director instance | 20 000 | The maximum number of virtual machines in a single VMware Cloud Director instance. This overrides the number of virtual machines that are supported on-premises. |
The above limits override any limits for the on-premises version of VMware Cloud Director listed in the VMware Configuration Maximums tool.
