VMware Cloud Foundation creates a foundation for the SDDC by using workload domains. A workload domain is a policy-based resource container (logical architecture) with specific availability and performance attributes, and combines compute, storage, and network into a single consumable object for a specific purpose.
Cloud Foundation includes the following workload domain types:
- Management workload domain
- Virtual infrastructure workload domain
- Virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) workload domain
This logical architecture is the foundation for the automated installation of software components, and helps to configure the appropriate services as per customer business objectives. Figure 2 shows the logical software component design for Cloud Foundation:
