Adding and deleting private instance endpoints with VCDA

End of Marketing: As of 31 October 2025, new deployments of VMware Solutions offerings are no longer available for new customers. Existing customers can still use and expand their active VMware® workloads on IBM Cloud®. For more information, see End of Marketing for VMware on IBM Cloud.

Where VMware Cloud Director Availability (VCDA) is enabled, IBM Cloud provides a public endpoint for each cloud zone in the region that has at least one resource pool. Public endpoints are read only and cannot be deleted. You can request instance endpoints for private connections for an additional charge.

For multitenant virtual data centers, both public and private endpoints are available by default, read-only, and cannot be deleted.

Procedure to add a private connection

  1. In the VMware Solutions console, click Resources > VCF as a Service from the left navigation panel.
  2. On the VMware Cloud Foundation as a Service page, click the single-tenant Cloud Director site name.
  3. Click the Add-on services tab, then expand the VMware Cloud Director Availability service.
  4. On the Instance endpoints tab, click Add private endpoint +.
  5. In the Request instance endpoint pane, select the zone and enter the subnets to allowlist for access to the private endpoint.
  6. Review the estimated cost, review and accept the terms, and click Request endpoint.
