Logical Design for vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager

You deploy

vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager

to provide life cycle management capabilities for vRealize Suite components and a Workspace ONE Access cluster.

Logical Design

In a VMware Cloud Foundation environment, you use

vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager

in VMware Cloud Foundation mode. In this mode,

vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager

is integrated with VMware Cloud Foundation in the following way:

SDDC Manager deploys the

vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager

appliance. Then, you deploy the vRealize Suite products that are supported by VMware Cloud Foundation by using

vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager

Supported versions are controlled by the

vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager

appliance and Product Support Packs. See the

VMware Interoperability Matrix

To orchestrate the deployment, patching, and upgrade of Workspace ONE Access and the vRealize Suite products,

vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager

communicates with SDDC Manager and the management domain vCenter Server in the environment.

SDDC Manager configures the load balancer for Workspace ONE Access, vRealize Operations Manager, and vRealize Automation.

For information on the design and deployment of a certain vRealize Suite product on VMware Cloud Foundation, see VMware Validated Solutions.
