Scope: Scope of Work: Deployment of VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF 9)

Project Overview

This project covers the assessment, design, and implementation of VMware Cloud

Foundation (VCF 9) within the customer’s existing VMware environment to establish a

standardized, automated, and scalable hybrid-cloud infrastructure.

Objectives

? Integrate VCF 9 into the current VMware stack with minimal disruption.

? Deploy the VCF 9 Management Domain and prepare for future Workload

Domains.

? Enhance operational consistency through SDDC Manager, automated lifecycle management, and policy-driven operations.

In-Scope Activities

3.1 Assessment & Planning

? Review existing vSphere, vSAN, and NSX infrastructure for VCF 9 readiness.

? Validate hardware compatibility, network configuration, and licensing requirements.

? Document existing architecture and identify gaps or required remediation.

3.2 Environment Preparation

? Prepare ESXi hosts for VCF 9 use (firmware, BIOS settings, networking, vSAN configuration as applicable).

? Configure prerequisite VLANs, IP schemas, DNS, and NTP services.

? Deploy and validate VCF 9 imaging/bring-up bundles.

3.3 VCF 9 Deployment

? Deploy the VCF 9 Management Domain.

? Configure vCenter Server, SDDC Manager, and vSAN (if applicable).

? Perform post-deployment validation of management components.

3.4 Integration & Configuration

? Integrate existing VMware resources as appropriate (identity sources, backup solutions, monitoring tools, etc.).

? Configure lifecycle management and workload domain templates within SDDC Manager.

? Implement role-based access controls and security best practices.

3.5 Knowledge Transfer

? Provide operational handoff documentation.

? Deliver knowledge-transfer sessions covering SDDC Manager, vCenter changes, and lifecycle operations.

Out-of-Scope

? Deployment of additional Workload Domains (unless explicitly added).

? Migration of existing workloads into VCF 9.

? Non-VMware infrastructure work (storage arrays, physical networking beyond defined prerequisites).

? Application-level changes not directly related to VCF 9.

Deliverables:

? VCF 9 architecture design documentation.

? Validated VCF 9 Management Domain deployed and operational.

? Configuration documentation and as-built runbook.
