About Developer Ready Cloud #

The Developer Ready Cloud validated solution provides detailed design, implementation, configuration, and operation guidance on … A VMware validated solution is a technical validated implementation that is built and tested by VMware and VMware cloud providers to help customers resolve common business use cases. VMware validated solutions are cost-effective, performant, reliable, and secure. Each solution contains a detailed design, implementation, and operational guidance.

Automation for This Design in VMware Cloud Foundation #

The implementation tasks for some design decisions are automated by SDDC Manager. You must perform the implementation manually for the rest of the design decisions as noted in the design implication. To provide a fast and efficient path to automating the Developer Ready Cloud implementation, this document provides Microsoft PowerShell cmdlets as code-based alternatives to completing certain procedures in each SDDC component’s user interface. You can directly reuse the PowerShell commands by replacing the provided sample values with values from your VMware Cloud Foundation Planning and Preparation Workbook.

Intended Audience #

The Developer Ready Cloud documentation is intended for cloud provider architects and administrators who are familiar with and want to use VMware software and a {VVS for CP topic} for VMware Cloud Foundation.
