Getting started with DSM 9.0 and VCF Automation (Videos)

by Posted on

Continuing on from the VMware Data Services Manager (DSM) 9.0 introductory videos from my most recent post, these next two videos look at how to configure VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) Automation in VCF 9.0 with DSM to provide a true DBaaS (Database as a Service) experience to your VCF tenants and end users. The first video looks at the setup steps and goes on to provision a Postgres database using a traditional, DSM-Manager infrastructure policy through VCF Automation.

The second video uses a new feature of DSM 9.0 and VCF Automation. It demonstrates how one can build an Infrastructure Policy using a Supervisor Namespace. When a database is provisioned by a VCFA tenant which uses this Supervisor Namespace-backed Infrastructure Policy, a vSphere Kubernetes Service (VKS) cluster is spun up in the Namespace to host the database.

As usual, please reach out if you have any questions or comments.
