After you deploy and configure the VMware Cloud Builder appliance, you generate the JSON deployment files based on the values populated in the Deployment Parameters XLS file. You then validate the deployment files against the necessary run parameters and start the automated deployment of the SDDC components for the management cluster and for the shared edge and compute cluster in Region B.
Procedure
Prerequisites for Automated SDDC Deployment in Region B Before you start the automated SDDC deployment, verify that your environment fulfills the requirements for this deployment.
Upload the VMware Validated Design Software Bundle and Signed Certificates to VMware Cloud Builder in Region B After you deploy the Cloud Builder virtual appliance, you prepare for an automated deployment of the SDDC components by uploading the software bundle and the generated signed certificates. You then mount the software bundle and configuring application properties.
Generate the JSON Deployment Files for the Management and the Shared Edge and Compute Clusters in Region B After you have populated all required configuration values in the Deployment Parameters XLS file, you upload it to the VMware Cloud Builder appliance and generate the JSON files that automate the deployment of the SDDC components in the management and the shared edge and compute clusters.
Validate the Deployment Parameters and Target Environment Prerequisites for the Management Cluster and the Shared Edge and Compute Cluster in Region B You perform validation of both JSON deployment files and specific target environment prerequisites to ensure that you can successfully deploy the components of the management and the shared edge and compute clusters using VMware Cloud Builder .
Start the Automated Deployment of the Management Cluster in Region B After you successfully validate the vvd-std-regb-mgmt.json file, you start the automated deployment of the components in the management cluster.
Start the Automated Deployment for the Shared Edge and Compute Cluster in Region B After you successfully validate the vvd-std-regb-comp.json file, you start the automated deployment of the components in the shared edge and compute cluster.
