Administering VMware Cloud Foundation Systems

As an SDDC administrator, you use the information in the VMware Cloud Foundation Operations and Administration document to understand how to administer and operate your installed VMware Cloud Foundation system.

An administrator of a VMware Cloud Foundation system performs tasks such as:

• Manage certificates and passwords.
• Add capacity to your system.
• Configure and provision the systems and the workload domains that are used to provide service offerings.
• Manage provisioned workload domains.
• Monitor alerts and the health of the system.
• Troubleshoot issues and prevent problems across the physical and virtual infrastructure.
• Perform life cycle management on the VMware Cloud Foundation software components.

Note: Perform all VMware Cloud Foundation operations in the SDDC Manager UI. Do not use the vSphere Client/Web Client or VMware Host Client to modify or delete resources which VMware Cloud Foundation has deployed and configured, unless specifically instructed to do so in the VMware Cloud Foundation documentation.
