Table 1. VMware Aria Operations for Networks Logical Components

Component	Single VMware Cloud Foundation Instance with a Single Availability Zone	Single VMware Cloud Foundation Instance with Multiple Availability Zones	Multiple VMware Cloud Foundation Instances
Platform Nodes	A VMware Aria Operations for Networks platform node of size Extra Large is deployed on the cross-instance NSX segment in the management domain.	A VMware Aria Operations for Networks platform node of size Extra Large is deployed on the cross-instance NSX segment within the first availability zone of the management domain.	A VMware Aria Operations for Networks platform node of size Extra Large is deployed on the cross-instance NSX segment in the first VMware Cloud Foundation instance.
Collector Nodes	A VMware Aria Operations for Networks collector node is deployed on the local-instance NSX segment in the management domain.	A VMware Aria Operations for Networks collector node is deployed on the local-instance NSX segment in the management domain. A vSphere Distributed Resource Scheduler VM/Host rule ensures that the VMware Aria Operations for Networks collector nodes are running on an ESXi host group in the first availability zone of the management domain.	A VMware Aria Operations for Networks collector node is deployed on the local-instance NSX segment in the management domain in each instance.
