Automatic load balancer configuration. Load balancer preparation and configuration are no longer a prerequisite when you use

vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager

to deploy or perform a cluster expansion on

Workspace ONE Access

,

vRealize Operations

, or

vRealize Automation

. Load balancer preparation and configuration take place as part of the deploy or expand operation.

Automatic infrastructure selection in

vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager

’s deployment wizards. When you deploy a vRealize Suite product through

vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager

, infrastructure objects such as clusters and networks are pre-populated. They are fixed and cannot be changed to ensure alignment with the

VMware Cloud Foundation

architecture.

Cluster deployment for a new environment. You can deploy

vRealize Log Insight

,

vRealize Operations

, or

vRealize Automation

in clusters. You can deploy

Workspace ONE Access

either as a cluster or a single node. If you deploy

Workspace ONE Access

as a single node, you can expand it to a cluster later.

vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager in VMware Cloud Foundation mode

only displays product versions that are compatible with

VMware Cloud Foundation

to ensure product interoperability.

Inventory synchronization between

vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager

and

SDDC Manager

.

vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager

can detect changes made to vRealize Suite products and update its inventory through inventory synchronization. When

VMware Cloud Foundation

mode is enabled in

vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager

, inventory synchronization in

vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager

also updates

SDDC Manager

’s inventory to get in sync with the current state of the system.

Product versions. You can only access the versions for the selected vRealize products that are specifically supported by

VMware Cloud Foundation

itself.

Resource pool and advanced properties. The resources in the Resource Pools under the Infrastructure Details are blocked by the

vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager

UI, so that the

VMware Cloud Foundation

topology does not change. Similarly, the Advanced Properties are also blocked for all products except for Remote Collectors.

vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager

also auto-populates infrastructure and network properties by calling

VMware Cloud Foundation

deployment API.
