VMware Cloud Foundation 5.x Posters!
I'm proud to present the latest VMware Cloud Foundation posters. Back by popular demand, the posters are done in a dark format (my personal favorite) and a light format. Each poster features the art of what's possible with VMware Cloud Foundation 5 Private Cloud Platform.

Let's take a quick tour of the new VCF poster.
Starting from the top left, is two personas, the Cloud Admin and the Developer. Each, with their computers connected to the multi-color physical network VLANs that allow them to connect and control the Software Defined Data Center (SDDC).
Viewing the physical infrastructure racks, we can see that racks of servers that make up the Management Domain and Workload Domains and how they relate to the logical view of the SDDC Workload Domains in the rest of the poster below. From the top of rack (TOR) switches, we see the physical VLANs and how they connect to the multiple physical nics (vmnics) inside the ESXi hosts and how those are mapped to the uplinks and distributed switches inside VCF. Also, note the small white BGP clouds, these reference how the NSX Edges in each workload domain, connect upstream to the physical network layer BGP peer.
Moving down to the Management Domain, we see the colored legend of all the VLANs used to stand up the VCF Software Defined Data Center, along with all the management VMs that make up this VCF install.
New in this poster, we now see an NSX project with NSX VPCs, providing software defined networking to your application VMs.
Workload Domain 2 highlights the architecture behind running Tanzu Kubernetes inside of VCF.
For remote sites, we can see that VCF supports, remote cluster architectures as well.
There is so much more detail to review in this poster than I can't even cover in this quick blog.
