Design Blueprints topology that keeps a whole VCF fleet, with its management and business workloads, at one location acting as a single fault domain for some layer of the infrastructure. Multiple instances, workload domains and clusters can live there; cross-site protection is not covered.

Terms in this definition
- Blueprints
Python v2 programming model objects (func.Blueprint) for splitting a function app's functions across several modules, which are then added to the main FunctionApp by calling app.register_functions().
- Topology
A Network Watcher view diagramming the resources in a VNet and how they relate. Traffic and packets are not shown.
- VCF fleet
Everything that a single VCF Operations instance manages: its VCF Instances, possibly some standalone vCenters, and fleet-wide shared services like VCF Automation.
- Fault domain
VMs that share a network switch and power source. To contain rack-level failures, an availability set distributes its VMs across as many as three of these (two in certain regions).
- Workload
Also called an experience: a Fabric toolset aimed at one job role, e.g. Data Factory, Data Engineering, Data Warehouse, Real-Time Intelligence or Power BI. Each keeps its data in OneLake.
Related terms
- Block download policy
Restricts a single site or OneDrive to view-in-browser access, configured with PowerShell as part of SharePoint Advanced Management. People can't download, print, sync, open files in desktop apps or move them elsewhere.
- LAN
A local area network covering a single site. By default, Delivery Optimization downloads share content between peers that sit behind the same NAT.
- Multiple Sites across Multiple Regions
A Design Blueprints physical site configuration for sites spread over more than one region and managed from a central point. Because clusters cannot be stretched from region to region, protection relies on the remaining levels and on layered DR, with the fleet management components running at a single site.
