Foundation addresses the cloud infrastructure layer and vRealize Suite addresses the Cloud Management Platform (CMP) layer of a cloud stack Cloud Foundation helps customers quickly and efficiently stand-up and manage the cloud infrastructure foundation through SDDC Manager SDDC Manager automates the lifecycle management of the cloud infrastructure stack (from bring-up, to configuration, infrastructure provisioning, upgrades/patches, and so on), making it extremely simple for the cloud admin to build and maintain the cloud stack Following are the important aspects of any cloud deployments: Multi-tenant: Multi-tenancy is an architecture in which a single instance of a software application serves multiple customers Each customer is called a tenant Tenants may be given the ability to customize some parts of the application, such as color of the user interface (UI) or business rules, but they cannot customize the application's code Operational Expenditure (OpEx): An operating expense, operating expenditure, operational expense, operational expenditure, or OPEX is an ongoing cost for running a product, business, or system Its counterpart, a capital expenditure (CapEx), is the cost of developing or providing non-consumable parts for the product or system For example, the purchase of a photocopier involves CapEx, and the annual paper, toner, power, and maintenance costs represents OpEx For larger systems such as businesses, OpEx may also include the cost of workers and facility expenses such as rent and utilities On-Premises/Off-Premises (OPOP): Cloud computing will simply become ubiquitous in its many forms and we are all going to end up with a hybrid model of cloud adoption—a veritable mashup of cloud services spanning the entire gamut of offerings that we already have today Cloud Foundation and vRealize Suite are hybrid cloud solutions that extend to public clouds Cloud Foundation is offered via IBM Cloud vRealize today, manages vCloud Air network clouds, AWS, and Azure (via professional services support) endpoints, and helps customers to get the benefits of Cross-Cloud services, across different platforms, in different locations Please browse the following reference for more documents and the latest updates: , https://www.vmware.com/in/products/cloud-foundation.html https://www.vmware.com/conten
