Products

• VCF Automation

Issue/Introduction

In VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) Automation 9.x, may need to scale of an existing single-node instance to a clustered setup to enhance performance, availability, and scalability. This process is handled through the Fleet Management appliance, which provides the capability to scale up and scale out an existing deployment.

Environment

VCF Automation 9.0.x

Resolution

The Fleet Management appliance allows administrators to scale a VCF Automation deployment by increasing CPU and memory resources or by adding additional nodes to form a cluster. Scaling options include upgrading the environment size from small to medium or from medium to large.
These operations ensure better workload distribution and improved system resilience without redeploying the environment.
