Terms in this definition

• Workbook

  An interactive report in Azure Monitor that brings together text, metrics and logs.

• 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.

• Model deployment

  Inside a resource, each deployment is a named copy of a Foundry model with its own TPM quota and deployment type. Requests identify the model by this deployment name.

• VCF Automation

  Self-service platform in VCF for provisioning VM, Kubernetes and AI workloads. Providers manage regions and tenants in one portal, while tenants handle projects and consumption in theirs.

• vSphere Supervisor

  Formerly known as vSphere with Tanzu. It gives vSphere clusters a Kubernetes API, declarative in style, through which VKS clusters, vSphere Pods and VMs are run inside namespaces; it underpins VCF Automation.

• VCF Identity Broker

  Identity service introduced with VCF 9.0 that signs in users of fleet components by linking VCF Single Sign-On with the company's identity provider. It runs either embedded within vCenter or as a cluster of three appliance nodes.

• 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

• Physical design

  The build specification for a VCF deployment, captured in the VCF Planning and Preparation Workbook and consumed by the VCF Installer. It realises the logical design by fixing exact products, versions, hardware and quantities, and values such as VLAN IDs, subnets, IP addresses, DNS names, MTU, certificates, rack placement and appliance sizes.
