What this book is not
This book is a solution book, not a product book. It uses vRealize Operations and Log Insight to apply the solution. You can probably use other products to implement the dashboards.
Because it is not a product book, it does not cover all modules of vRealize Operations Suite. vCenter Infrastructure Navigator and VMware Configuration Manager are not covered. If you need a product book, Scott Norris and Christopher Slater have published one. There are also many blogs that cover installation and configuration.
The book focuses on the management of the SDDC. It does not cover the architecture. So no vCloud Suite design best practices are present in this book. It also does not cover all aspects of operation. For example, it does not cover process innovation, organizational structure, financial management, and audit. Specific to management, the book only focuses on the following most fundamental areas:
- Performance
- Capacity
This book does not cover other areas of management, such as configuration, compliance, and availability management.
