VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) is a hybrid cloud platform. There are two pre-packaged workload domain types, Virtual Infrastructure (VI) and Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI). VMware VCF provides a simple and easy-to-use architecture that allows consistent and secure infrastructure operations between private and public clouds.
VCF has an automated way to install vSphere and all the necessary components (vCenter, vSAN, NSX-T and vRealize suite). The latest release also supports vSphere with Tanzu in order to support VMs and containers on the same platform.
