The authors have terrific job of covering the topic. They do a very good job of presenting the basics of planning, deploying and using vCloud Director in the context of the larger environment including related solutions and processes that may be required for a successful implementation.

This is great material on planning for VMware Vcloud software. The reading is easy. I just wish there are more books like this and that they don't take so long to publish.

An excellent resource - helped me finally nail vCloud

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 13, 2014

vCloud Director is a beast - Simon and Aiden have tamed it. I found a lot of online write-ups and materials wanting and the popular CBT videos lacking any real depth, but I found this book hard to put down. Had several "eureka" moments especially when vCloud networking was explained. Sad but true - I ended up reading the entire RFC on VXLAN and it all made sense.
