Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Pros
- Manages multi-tenancy very well. You can setup resource pools of compute, network, and storage that are independent of each other.
- Easy to create and manage multiple environments.
- Has lease management technology and can easily set leases and expire them based on pre-configured time frames.
Cons
- It is not good for end users or customers to use. The UI is geared more towards VMware admins.
- There is somewhat of a learning curve to it, you have to think through and plan out how you want to set your OVDC and PVDCs up. It takes a lot of architecture experience.
- Once you built workloads in vCloud director, it's real difficult to take them out or manage them directly in vSphere. This is a huge pain.
