What is a workload domain?

• A Workload domain consists of ESXi, vCenter, VSAN and NSX
• SDDC Manager is used to create a workload domain which is wizard driven with automated host selection
• There are current 2 different workload domains which can be deployed:
  • vDI workload domain
  • VI workload domain (Virtual Infrastructure or can call it IAAS)
• Requires about 45 minutes to deploy which is crazy if you think about it since I installs ESXi on each host, install and configure networks, physical ports, vCenter Server, VSAN and NSX and have it ready to just deploy your VMs.
• You can deploy as many workload domains as required.
• Seamless expansion with additional hosts
• Policy based control:
  • Capacity, performance, availability (networking, security)
• Automated deletion and reclamation of capacity
• Workload domain can be expanded, deleted as well as patched/updated through lifecycle management.
