Configure VMware Cloud Director service
VMware Cloud Director servicehelps create virtual data centers from
common or distributed infrastructure across sites and geographies, like the
infrastructure provided by Google Cloud VMware Engine. The VMware Cloud Director service integration with
VMware Engine uses a single interface to provide you with the
following capabilities:
Elastic virtual data centers:Create virtual data centers that allow users
to provision network, storage, and compute resources through a catalog of
vApp templates and media files.
Hybrid cloud management:Manage and monitor data center resources across
both on-premises and VMware Engine environments.
Multi-tenancy:Manage all tenants from a unified interface that provides
multi-tenancy with complete isolation.
Infrastructure allocation:Divide VMware Engine infrastructure
into smaller resource pools that you can provide to users and expand as
needed.
Workload migration across virtual data centers:Back up, evacuate, and
replicate workloads ranging from a single VM to an entire data center.
Configure VMware Cloud Director service
You can associate your private cloud resources with VMware Cloud Director service after you
establish a connection between VMware Cloud Director service and one or more
VMware Engine private clouds. To understand how to access a dedicated vCenter environment or vCenter components, seeWorking with Dedicated vCenter Instances, Endpoints, and Proxies in the VMware Cloud Director Tenant Portalin the VMware Cloud Director documentation.
