VMware Validated Design (VVD) & VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) Quick References

05.02.2017 by William Lam // 2 Comments

The other day, I had a customer ask about the latest version of the Ports and Protocols document that was put together by the VMware Validated Design (VVD) team which does a fantastic job of outlining all the connectivity between the products used within the VVD SDDC. It actually took me awhile to find after realizing it was posted on the VMTN Community rather than the official documentation page.

I also came across other VVD content that I thought would also be useful for customers and decided to create a VVD "Quick Reference" that organizes all of this content into a single place. In addition, I also created a nice short URL to the quick reference so you only have to remember that. After sharing this on Twitter yesterday, Ryan Johnson (TMM for VVD/VCF) got inspired and also created VMware Cloud Foundation Quick Reference which I also built a short URL for. If there is other content that you would like to see, feel free to drop me or Ryan a comment or better yet, submit a pull request on the Github page!

To access the Quick References, use the following short URLs:

  • https://github.com/lamw/vvd-quick-reference
  • https://github.com/ftwegner/cloudfoundation-quick-reference

Below is a quick screenshot of both the VVD and VCF Quick References:

    Hi William, I think you are the best person who could know if SDDC manager is available in nested virtualization ?

    We could benefit from testing SDDC manager in home lab but requirements for deploying full VCF pack is too complex for small server.. . .

    Thanks & Good Luck!

    Thanks for consolidating and posting this content. The VCF content does not appear to exist at Ryan's Git link. Is it somewhere else now?

    Thanks!
