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.
- Live migration
Moving a Hyper-V virtual machine to a different host while it keeps running, without users noticing an outage.
Related terms
- guest OS customization
When cloning or deploying from a template, giving the new VM's OS its own name, network and licence details so it does not collide with others. VCF Operations HCX can apply it in Bulk Migration too.
