vCloud Director

Cloud Computing:-

Cloud Computing is an approach to computing that leverages the efficient pooling of on-demand, self-managed virtual infrastructure that is consumed as a service.

Points to ponder:-

1. vShield Manager server provides networking  services to vCloud Director. vShield Manager is a software firewall.
2. vCloud Director  requires access to vCenter ,vShield Manager  & one or more ESXi hosts
3. Organization is composed of vApps,users and groups, organization vDCs and catalogs
4. Do not turnoff DRS  on vCLoud  Director .
5.  vCloud Connector  is a virtual appliance that installs in vsphere  and handles all the business logic of dealing with other clouds . A vCC plugin to vCenter helps bring VM’s from outside.
6. Never make changes to lower end  like vCenter when you are managing with vCloud Director
