Availability management plays a lead role in ensuring your services can perform their agreed functions to meet the needs of the business.
The availability of your services will depend on the percentage of time that your workload is available. This percentage (such as 99.99%) will be reflected over a period and is often a design goal for applications.
As you operate your VMware Cloud workloads, consider the following topics to ensure that you have established availability processes extended to the SDDC:
Develop a plan for continuously balancing/distributing applications/workloads across available cloud resources. Utilize anti-affinity policies whenever necessary.
Work with application teams to ensure that applications are architected with the availability model of the cloud in mind.
Review VMware Cloud Availability Commitments to ensure that these are well understood by your operations teams.
