It will deploy hosts, your VCenter server for management, the NSX manager, and other management functions. As a cloud administrator, you really don’t have a lot of capacity to change the variables. The second is the…

Create an SDDC Now what we want to do is go over to the browser on the left-hand side of the console and select the Google Chrome browser icon. Now what we need to do is essentially check into the lab. This will actually provision the VMC services. Go ahead and put in your email that you used to sign up for the VMware hands-on Lab account, and then you want to press Search, and your email should come up under the Lab SKU. If it doesn’t, you may need…

Support The VMware cloud on AWS makes it easy to get help with your VMware cloud on AWS configuration. If you go over here, what you want to do is generally select the SDDC that you’re requesting support for, click support, and generally you would have an icon down here that you would click on.

Every opportunity should include an…
