Automated VMware vSphere Foundation (VVF) 9.0 Lab Deployment Script

09.03.2025 by William Lam // 1 Comment

After publishing my long awaited Automated VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) 9.0 Lab Deployment Script yesterday, I already had a request for a simliar solution to deploy VMware vSphere Foundation (VVF) environment.

Luckily, with new the VCF 9.0 Installer, it super easy to deploy either VCF or VVF, as VVF is just a subset of a VCF deployment. In fact, I had already incorporated this capability into the initial script, but I just did not get a chance to add the documentation for VVF as I know VCF has been the most popular request for this script.


I have updated my documentation to now include an example for deploying VVF as you can see from the screenshot below. It will automatically pull the required packages for VVF versus a VCF deployment and then proceed with deploying the components.

Automated VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) 9.0 Lab Deployment Script

Now that VMware Explore Las Vegas has concluded, I finally have a small breather to publish my Automated VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) 9.0 Lab Deployment Script, which utilizes Nested ESXi running on an existing physical vSphere environment, as shown in the diagram below.


I know many of you have used previous versions of my automated lab deployment scripts, so this should feel quite familiar along with some enhancements including the ability to externalize the environment configuration parameters from the actual deployment script.

You can find all the details and documentation at the following Github repo:
