Hello all,
I have a question that may hopefully be a relatively easy one to answer for most of you. I have been tasked with coming up with a public cloud solution using vmware products. On the one hand there is vcloud director and the other is vcac or perhaps a combination of the 2. From what I am reading it sounds like vcac is the direction vmware is looking for customers to go. That said if one was planning to deploy a new public facing cloud which product would be the recommended direction to take. It will need the ability to have multi tenancy capabilities ( isolated networks, storage, etc...), need a public facing interface and self provisioning portal, chargeback, and catalogs ( our master ones as well as customer created ones within their own VDC's). Does vcac cover all of these criteria or from a service provider perspective is vcloud director the right way to go for now and the future? Can you create VDC's strictly using vcac or would you need vcloud director in the background in order to truly be a public cloud type of offering?
Also if you happen to have and really good step by step instruction links or documentation on starting these from scratch it would be greatly appreciated. I found this pretty good series on vcac 6 from kendrickcoleman for those reading this post and looking for a guide on vcac 6.0 installationhttp://www.kendrickcoleman.com/index.php/Tech-Blog/how-to-install-vcloud-automation-center-vcac-60-part-1-identity-appli… Again hoping someone has some great words of wisdom as to which product to get started with in order to build out a secure multi tenant cloud solution. Thanks so much in advance for all your feedback
