vCloud Folder Structure

After a successful configuration of the connection to a vCloud Director server, CA Virtual Assurance discovers the vCloud Director environment that consists of organizations, vApps, and virtual machines. When the discovery completes, the VMware vCloud folder appears in the Explore pane of the Resources tab. You can expand the folder and can manage your vCloud environment.

The following diagram shows the object hierarchy underneath the VMware vCloud folder.

..
└───VMware vCloud
    └───VMware vCloud Director Servers
        └───VMware vCloud Organization
            └───VMware vApps
                └───VMware Virtual Machines

The VMware vCloud folder represents the service level at the top. The vCloud service can consist of multiple VMware vCloud Director servers. Each vCloud Director usually has multiple organizations with vApps and virtual machines.

At the organization level, you can provision vApps based on templates stored in a catalog.
