VMware vCloud Director 5.1 Evaluation Guide

Typical vCloud Director Deployment

The size and scale of vCloud Director deployments vary greatly. There are, however, several architectural

features that are common across most deployments.

Management Cluster

In most implementations, all of the infrastructure components needed for vCloud Director are deployed in a

management cluster. The management cluster consists of two or more vSphere hosts, enabling high availability

and downtime avoidance. Running within the management cluster are virtual machines hosting vCloud Director,

the vCloud Director database, vCloud Networking and Security Manager and one or more vCenter Server instances

that are attached to vCloud Director and manage a number of vSphere hosts. Often there also is a single

vCenter Server instance inside the management cluster, conﬁgured to manage the management cluster.

In the following diagram, a simple management cluster with two ESXi hosts is shown. Within this management

cluster, virtual machines are conﬁgured for vCloud Director, vCloud Director database and two vCenter Server

instances. One of the vCenter Server instances provides services for the management cluster by managing the

two vSphere hosts and the virtual machines running on them. The other vCenter Server instance is attached to

vCloud Director and manages a set of hosts that provide the resources to be consumed by vCloud Director.

Resource Cluster

A vCenter Server instance that is attached to a vCloud Director instance manages one or more vSphere hosts.

These vSphere hosts provide compute and storage resources that are conﬁgured in one or more clusters. These

clusters must be conﬁgured to use automated vSphere DRS.
