Summary
In this chapter, the monitoring and analytics methods for the SDDC have been discussed. It was not only explained how to use the toolset from VMware, but also that there are new concepts required in order to identify issues before they harm the environment. The mission of all these concepts and tools is to limit the impact on the user. In a perfect world, there will be none, these methods and tools will support the operations teams of an SDDC to achieve this difficult goal.
The next chapter will discuss the need for continuous service improvement. A lot of procedures have been changed in order to make the SDDC run properly, but this is just the beginning. An agile and healthy SDDC is always changing; therefore, it is important to revisit changes from time to time in order to make sure that they are still relevant. This chapter will discuss how to consistently and continuously improve the service quality in order to stay relevant for the SDDC user.
