Unlock the next era of private cloud innovation and discover how VCF Automation within VMware Cloud Foundation is shaping the future of cloud infrastructure. This session explores how VCF Automation facilitates modern private cloud operations, enabling quick provisioning and simplified scaling in multi-tenant environments through self-service IaaS. Gain the speed to bring applications to market faster—without compromising control, thanks to policy-based governance designed for the mordern enterprise. Broadcom’s Vincent Riccio will take you on a technical deep dive into the innovations powering this shift: a Modern Cloud Interface that delivers public cloud-like IaaS straight out-of-the-box, advanced tenant management, centralized content control, policy as code, and more. See how your organization can build, run, and manage diverse workloads—faster, smarter, and more securely—as you step into a future-ready private cloud.

Vincent Riccio's presentation at the VCF 9.0 Showcase focused on Broadcom's efforts to automate private cloud investments within VCF9. He emphasized the shift towards a self-service consumption model, enabling business units to deploy applications and services with greater agility. Key components of this automation include improved tenant management through the introduction of "organizations," centralized content control via content libraries, and policy-as-code capabilities for governance. Riccio also highlighted the integration of vSphere services, such as the VM service and VKS service, into the automation framework, enabling users to deploy VMs and Kubernetes clusters more easily.

The presentation also delved into the architecture of the new solution, emphasizing the importance of the supervisor in vCenter for enabling the "all-apps" experience. Riccio explained how regions, comprised of one or more supervisors, abstract resources across the VCF fleet for consumption. He introduced the concept of projects within organizations, enabling further isolation and management of users and namespaces. The presentation concluded with a demonstration of the new features, including the deployment of VMs and Kubernetes clusters using the services UI and the exploration of the catalog for more curated, "anything as a service" type deployments.
