Deploy a VMware Aria Operations Collector Group in an Additional VMware Cloud Foundation Instance

In each additional VMware Cloud Foundation instance, deploy a group of two cloud proxy appliances for VMware Aria Operations to monitor the management and VI workload domain vCenter Server, vSAN, and NSX instances in that instance. Deploying a separate group of VMware Cloud Proxies makes the data collection in each additional VMware Cloud Foundation instance independent from the location of the analytics cluster.
