Cloud Provider Pod: Automated Cloud Deployment
Automate the deployment of VMware-based clouds using VMware Cloud Provider Pod. A Cloud Provider Pod-deployed stack adheres to VMware Validated Design principles and is thoroughly tested for interoperability and performance. It is also tested for cloud-scale and is built to handle rigorous Cloud Provider workloads. It deploys technologies with core provider capabilities such as data center extension, cloud migration, and multi-tenancy and chargeback, and helps achieve the fastest path to VMware-based cloud services delivery.
