The plan pillar discusses the importance of the various infrastructure services that are in use in an on-premises deployment. When a VMware SDDC is deployed in the cloud, default configurations related to infrastructure services are implemented at a rudimentary level to support the VMware components that make up the SDDC. There is no requirement to establish infrastructure services in the cloud before deploying a VMware SDDC because the Service Provider has accounted for these services as part of the initial deployment.
