Quick Tip - Character Limits for VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) Objects

04.05.2024 by William Lam // Leave a Comment

Similar to my blog post on character limits for the different types of vSphere Inventory Objects, here is a quick look on some VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) Objects and their respective character limits.

While looking into this topic, I was pleasantly surprised to find that some of the rename workflows in SDDC Manager UI includes an informational icon that provides the naming constraints in addition to the character limit. I was able to test and verify the character limits by using a combination of the SDDC Manager UI and API and below were my findings as of the VCF 5.1 release.

Object Character Limit Minimum Character Limit Maximum
Management Domain 3 20
Workload Domain 3 20
Network Pool 3 40
Organization Name 3 20
Edge Cluster 1 80
