VMware Cloud Sizer is a complimentary VMware Cloud service that estimates the resources required to run various workloads within VMware Cloud.
In addition, the VMware Cloud Services Portal includes an integrated user interface for the sizer to make the process even easier to navigate.
VMware Cloud Sizer is responsible for estimating the resource utilization for any VMware Cloud deployment. The VMware Cloud Sizer currently supports VMware Cloud on AWS.
Estimating the resources required to host a given workload within VMware Cloud is a non-trivial task largely dependent on the presented data. The service can accurately calculate project utilization and requirements with the data although the data is not always available. Therefore, the service supports several different input methodologies and sizing workflows. The VMware Cloud Sizer tool has three different sizer options.
Quick Sizer
Advanced Sizer - Import
Advanced Sizer - Manual
Each of the sizer options provides you with an accurate estimation that is required to run your workload. The quick sizer is helpful in providing a rough estimation whereas an Advanced Sizer - Manual provides advanced accurate information in detail for your new deployments. For more information, see Access VMware Cloud Advanced Sizer - Manual .
The VMware Cloud Sizer provides a mechanism to sign in to your organization and access the different sizer options to calculate your workload estimation. The tool also provides an additional feature of creating and saving your entries as a project for your reference. For more information on creating a new project after signing into the sizer tool, see Create and Save Your Sizer Project in VMware Cloud Sizer .
