Requirements for VCF for VPC instances
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.
With the bare metal server infrastructure provided in IBM Cloud® Virtual Private Cloud (IBM Cloud VPC), you can quickly deploy VMware Cloud Foundation for VPC on IBM Cloud.
Ensure that the following requirements are met:
- IBM Cloud account requirements
- Required permissions for managing IBM Cloud resources
- Requirements for the list of allowed IP addresses
The installation of VCF for VPC on IBM Cloud uses the Terraform IBM Provider to create the necessary infrastructure resources and services.
Do not modify any values that are set during resource deployment and VCF for VPC instance order from the Schematics workspace. After the instance is provisioned, do not add or remove hosts manually.
