Apply VMware Cloud Foundation Configuration Updates

VMware Cloud Foundation Configuration Updates identifies and resolves any discrepancies between the intended/prescribed configuration and the actual configuration, ensuring that the deployment aligns with the recommended configuration for the VCF 5.0 release and above. This process includes reconciling the configuration for 2nd party software components listed in the VMware Cloud Foundation Bill of Materials (BOM).
Configuration Updates must be performed during a maintenance window.
As the upgrades for 2nd party components complete for the domain, additional Configuration Updates may become available. You have the option to apply the relevant drifts as they become available or apply them collectively at the end of the upgrade process for all 2nd party software components.
Configuration Updates can be applied to multiple domains in parallel. However, if a Configuration Update is in progress, another configuration update on the same domain should not be attempted.
Configuration Updates in VCF detects and reconciles configuration to a prescribed configuration for the release. Once reconciled, it does not identify subsequent non-compliance arising from out of band changes.
