Snapshot Support in vCloud Director 5.1
Allows for the ability to:
• Create
• Revert
• Remove
Works for:
• Virtual Machines
• Powered-on/off/suspended
• vApps
Works with:
• UI and REST API
• Chargeback
Does not support:
• Multi-level snapshots
• Lab Manager-style snapshots
(deployed in fenced mode)
• Network reconfiguration while
snapshots are present
• Revert doesn’t restore vApp
topology and OVF properties,
only the VMs
• Virtual Machines with
independent disks attached

9. 9
Multiple Classes of Storage
• The Org Admin can now offer
different classes of storage within
a single vDC
• vDCs, vApp Templates, and
Media can define a default
storage profile to be used
• Storage DRS functionality can
now be leveraged within vCD,
allowing for Storage vMotion
between datastores within a
cluster based upon metrics
defined (available space, I/O
latency, ect)
• Will be integrated with
ChargeBack

Storage Profiles Feature Overview
 Leverages existing constructs in vSphere 5.0
• Requires Enterprise Plus license as the Policy Based Management for storage
in vSphere 5 requires it.
• Datastores expose their capabilities as string labels in 5.0 and 5.1
• Supports datastore clusters - Storage DRS honors the profiles
 Storage Profiles are managed through vSphere, not through vCD.
This includes:
• Authoring Storage Profiles
• Adding new Storage Profiles
• Renaming or deleting Storage Profiles
 Storage Profiles are a requirements profile, essentially a tier
requirement
 Storage Profiles express requirements by depending on
capabilities

11. 11
Storage Profiles Feature Overview
 Allows the association of Storage Profiles with Provider vDCs and
Organization vDCs
 Can give a subset of storage to a particular Organization vDC
 Applies to VMs, vApp Templates, and Media
• VMs placement based on assigned Storage Profile
• Can change Storage Profiles after a VM has already been placed
• Profile-Driven Storage Service remembers association between VM
(home and disks) and Storage Profile (So if it’s relocated to a
different datastore, we can say if it meets the requirements and it is
‘compliant’)

Overview of the Three Resource Allocation Models
Summary:
Tenant charged for
resources used
Benefits:
• Over-commitment
controlled by SP
• % of resource
guaranteed can be
unlimited
Use Case:
• Test/Dev
• Unmanaged workloads
in a public cloud –
charge tenants when
resources are used
Summary:
Allows SP to pre-allocate
resources
Benefits:
• Provides predictable
billing
• Does not have
resource QOS
allowing you to
overcommit
Use Case:
• Elastic pool with
minimum resource
guarantees and a cap
• Predictable tenant
billing
Summary:
Has full resource
management controls
(reservations, limits,
shares)
Benefits:
• Cannot over-commit
resources
• Guarantees 100% of
vDC Allocation
Use Case:
• Capacity based
chargeback
• Virtual Private Data
Center
Reservation Pool Allocation Pool Pay As You Go (PAYG)

Elastic Virtual Data Center – The Problem
pVDC A pVDC B pVDC C
Tenant
Organization VDC
• Three different clusters, each on separate subnets

Elastic Virtual Data Center – Networks

VXLAN Fabric
• VXLAN allows you to span subnets or L2 domains

Elastic Virtual Data Center – pVDC Expansion
Provider Virtual Data Center

VXLAN Fabric
• This allows your Provider vDC to grow to include all three clusters

• Can leverage Cross Cluster vMotion to distribute load

19. 19
Elastic Virtual Data Center
Description Benefits
• Container by which a tenant consumes resources (e.g., an
Org VDC) can grow:
• Automatically, without manual intervention on the part of the
cloud provider admin
• On-demand in response to tenant requests (PAYG)
• Within a very large bound that tenants rarely, if ever, reach or
see.
• Provider Admins no longer have to answer “Which cluster
should this VDC go into?”
• Compute capacity for
VDC can come from
multiple clusters under
a single vCenter
• Enables Allocation Pool
& Pay-As-You-Go VDCs
to grow dynamically.
• No support for
Reservation Pool
VDCs

Added Features to Support Elastic vDCs
1. Elasticity of Allocation Pool Organization vDCs
2. Placement Engine Enhancements
3. Merge Provider vDCs
4. Migrate VMs from a resource pool to other resource pools in a Provider vDC
5. Elasticity of System vDC Resource Pools

Storage Independent of VM Feature
 Not specifically a sales feature, more for us to provide support
internally
 Added support for Independent Disks
• To support Cloud Foundry as AppCloud could not run on vCD previously without the
API support for this
 Provides REST API support for actions on Independent Disks
 As these consume disk space, the vCD UI was updated to show
user when they are used:
• Organizations List Page
• A new Independent Disks count column is added.
• Organization Properties Page
• Independent Disks tab is added to show all independent disks belonging to vDC
• Tab is not shown if no independent disk exists in the vDC.
• Virtual Machine Properties Page
• Hardware tab->Hard Disks section, attached independent disks are shown by their
names and all fields for the disk are disabled as they are not editable.
