VMware Cloud Foundation Workload Domains: API Ready Infrastructure?

[@MrArielAntigua]

Nice tool for the JSON WLD generation! I have already done that using Ansible Jinja2 templates and the URI module. Question: How many Bearer_token can be created? I read that those tokens cannot be retrieved after creation, so I'm requesting a new one every time I run an Ansible playbook. I'll look for a better way to handle the tokens... maybe a refresh token.

[@LAB2PROD]

I don't recall seeing a maximum number of tokens that can be created, how often/ how many are you creating and how frequently?

[@MrArielAntigua]

@@LAB2PROD I'm building an automated lab using Ansible, Nested ESXi. I think from 0 to full LAB (WLD1 and WLD2) each with EdgeCluster, I request 20-30 tokens.

[@LAB2PROD]

@@MrArielAntigua In what span of time? Although I doubt that amount of token generation will cause you an issue.

[@MrArielAntigua]

@@LAB2PROD Maybe 2hrs - 3hrs(lets say, 1 token every 20min ?). I will try to overload the SDDC API requesting tokens just to see what happens.

[@LAB2PROD]

As it stands, that frequency would be fine.

Thanks for the amazing videos. I appreciate your way to share knowledge.

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it!

Quick question: how is your lab built? Is it nested or do you have dedicated hosts? I've spun up an SDDC instance with just the mgmt domain but ran out of ESXi proc licenses so I couldn't proceed, the VMUG license. I really like VCF, and would love to deploy a WLD, but can't due to licensing.

[@LAB2PROD]

VCF is pretty cool, but agree it does require a bit of juice and licensing. The details of my lab are here www.lab2prod.com.au/the-lab but it needs to be updated a bit. For this video and the next few it will be purely nested and distributed in the hosts listed in the link. Up until this point, it was not nested.
