VMware Cloud Builder is used to automate the deployment of VMware Cloud Foundation and VMware Validated Designs, during the initial bringup phase both solutions use the same components of the VMware Cloud Builder appliance:
- JsonGenerator – used to take the Excel file and generate the JSON file used by the bringup service
- PlatformAudit – used to perform both validation on the JSON file and the physical environment
- Bringup – orchestration service that carries out the installation and configuration of the VMware components
Each of these components generate log files, should you encounter issues then these log files can be used to perform your troubleshooting and can also be provided to VMware Global Support Services (GSS).
