The control plane plays a primary role in acting as the interface between applications and service delivery. This area will include event data collection, resiliency & backup strategy, configuration and access management, as well as Day 2 operations.

Considerations

Review existing processes for control plane management and how they can be adapted for VMware Cloud. This should include core VMware based control plane technologies (vROPs, vRLI, vRNI, HXC, vRA) that will be integrated with the VMware Cloud SDDC. Consider the following associated processes; lifecycle management, control plane backups, resiliency, and event management.
