Terms in this definition
- VMware Cloud Foundation
Broadcom's platform for private cloud. It unifies management of NSX, vSAN, vSphere, VCF Automation and VCF Operations as one fleet; VVF, by contrast, lacks automation and cloud management.
- Fleet management
VCF Operations area, running on its own appliance, that centrally looks after licences, lifecycle, identity, certificates, passwords, tags and drift for an entire fleet. Aria Suite Lifecycle is not upgraded into it but replaced by it.
Related terms

Log analysis in VCF Operations for logs that sets current query output beside the preceding equal-length window to surface spikes and patterns.
- Event Types
Machine learning in VCF Operations for logs sorts look-alike messages into broad groups, each listed with an example and a rough tally.
- Extracted field
A regex applied to raw log lines in VCF Operations for logs to pull out a named value, making messy events searchable and usable in alerts.
- integrated load balancer
Optional Cluster VIP feature in VCF Operations for logs that puts a built-in balancer before the primary node, so an HA deployment has no single point of failure and needs no external appliance.

Because VCF Operations cannot integrate with Aria Operations for Logs 8.x, this feature copies up to 90 days of older logs from it into VCF Operations for logs.
