Compute & Workload Management

This area focuses on the processes and policies for managing compute resources and deployed workloads. This includes VMs, Containers, Resource Pools, vApps and Compute Management policies.

Considerations

• Define VMware Cloud processes for managing vSphere clusters, including host provisioning, child resource policies (naming, shares, reservations, reservations, limits), and integration with core IT Service Management systems (If required). This should also include the decisions & process to trigger compute scaling.

• Review existing processes for workload management and how they could be adapted for VMware Cloud. This includes VM templates, Container images, snapshots, clones, OS patching, licensing compliance and considerations, antivirus, VM tool management and any migration considerations.
