Deploy an NSX Edge cluster to provide north-south routing and network services to a workload domain.
After you create an NSX Edge cluster, you can use SDDC Manager to expand or shrink it by adding or deleting NSX Edge nodes.
This procedure describes how to use SDDC Manager to create an NSX Edge cluster with NSX Edge node virtual appliances. If you have latency intensive applications in your environment, you can deploy NSX Edge nodes on bare-metal servers. See Deployment of VMware NSX-T Edge Nodes on Bare-Metal Hardware for VMware Cloud Foundation 4.0.x.
Note: If you deploy the NSX Edge cluster with the incorrect settings or need to delete an NSX Edge cluster for another reason, see
KB 78635.
