Enhanced VMware Capabilities in CloudStack - A Deep-Dive - CloudStack Collaboration Conference 2021
This talk introduces the recent changes on the Vmware vSphere integration with CloudStack. These changes make the CloudStack vSphere integration more efficient and extend it by introducing many features which were not supported by CloudStack and would be beneficial to the operators of vSphere-based CloudStack clouds. The vSphere integration improves different operations benefiting from the new implementations of the vSphere native AP, for operations such as VM migrations, snapshots, deployment. Apart from the improvements on the existing operations, it now also supports new storage types: vSAN, VMFS6 and VVOLs. Also, it introduces the storage management concepts of Datastore Clusters and Storage Policies into Cloudstack. It also brings support to deploying virtual appliances with a new optional mode of deployment (deploy-as-is) as if they were deployed directly from vSphere, meaning that CloudStack supports different deployment options, configurations, vApp properties, etc; which are parsed from the template OVF file descriptor.
