Looking for a way to extend VCF Operations with deeper visibility into your infrastructure and applications?
Now you can see it for yourself. How much does it cost? Nothing. We think that’s a fair price.
All of our Management Packs available on the VCF Marketplace can be evaluated free of charge for 14 days.
This is a fully featured trial designed to let you validate the solution in a real production environment.
How does the trial work?
Getting started is simple:
Download the Management Pack of your choice from the VCF Marketplace.
Install it in your VCF Operations environment.
Configure the connection to the supported system.
Start collecting data.
For the next 14 days, you’ll have access to every feature included in the solution.
No feature limitations.
No additional installers.
No separate adapters.
No hidden costs.
Just the same functionality available in the fully licensed version.
What can you monitor?
Depending on the Management Pack you choose, you can extend VCF Operations with visibility into:
network infrastructure
data center environments
Kubernetes platforms
storage systems
monitoring agents
applications and business services
and many other technologies supported by our solutions
Each Management Pack comes with ready-to-use content, including:
metrics
properties
object relationships
dashboards
alerts
custom groups
This allows you to start monitoring and analyzing your environment from the very first data collection cycle.
What happens when the trial ends?
The end of the trial period does not mean starting over.
When the trial expires:
adapter configurations remain in place
historical data stays available
object definitions are preserved
dashboards and custom configurations remain intact
There is no need to redeploy or reconfigure the solution.
Simply activate an Indevops license to resume data collection and regain full visibility into your environment.
Why evaluate our Management Packs?
The trial gives you an opportunity to validate:
the scope of available monitoring data
the quality of metrics and properties
integration with your existing environment
the business value of the solution
operational benefits for infrastructure and operations teams
It’s the best way to see how our Management Packs can help you build complete observability within VCF Operations.

24 September 2025 VMware User Group (VMUG) Poland. This time, the sessions were selected in a different way than usual, i.e. participants could submit their own topic proposals and lead the sessions themselves. We were represented by Marcin Rzepa, who, as a #vExpert, tackled the topic of Agents 😊.
It was clear that each speaker had that spark in their presentation and showed a demo.
Dominik Jakubowski was the first to speak, with ‘Tanzu for the reluctant. How to get started with containers in the VMware world without a headache.’ He gave an accessible introduction to the world of microservices based on #K8S on the #vSphere Kubernetes Service platform.
The next session, our favourite 😁, was Marcin Rzepa's session.
As a vExpert, Marcin has years of experience with the largest VCF Operations/Automation implementations in Poland, which allowed him to present the problems administrators may encounter when installing and managing agents (including Telegraf and VCF for logs) and, on the other hand, what to do to solve these problems. The VCF Operations platform came to the rescue, where he showed what monitoring the status of agents on operating systems can look like, along with their installation, configuration and maintenance using dedicated software created in collaboration with Onteon Tech.
It was clear that the topic was a hot one, as Marcin received many questions from the audience and online.
After lunch, the first session was led by Paweł Wojno, ‘vSphere Supervisor [Tanzu] 9.0 – a practical guide’. Here, Paweł went into greater detail about the #VKS environment on #VVF/#VCF. The practical demo was received with enthusiasm by the audience.
After Paweł, Beata Witkowska-Szmyt made a short announcement, conveying important messages about the most significant events organised by TD SYNNEX Poland in the context of #VMware.
The last session, led by Łukasz Tworek and Andrzej Szymczak, included a demo on how to prepare #VCF9 for full operation as a private cloud, what components need to be configured and installed in VCF9. In the next steps, they showed how to use ready-made IaaS, CaaS and application services from the self-service portal. It was cool that Łukasz provided links to his blog, where everything he presented can be found.
The most open part, where the discussion flowed naturally, was the panel discussion about the latest news from VMware Explore in Vegas and London. Here, @Andrzej Szymczak talked about these new developments and we considered how to apply them in practice, while Łukasz Maciaszek shared his insights from VMware #Explore in London.
See you at the next #VMUG 🖐.
If you have any questions about Marcin’s session, please feel free to contact us.
I saw him later in the main auditorium and wanted to talk to him, but I lost sight of him for a moment and he disappeared into the crowd.😉 He talked about VCF at a high level. He emphasised that the key to success is good environment planning. He talked about the concept of VCF (VCF Fleet, Instance, Domain).
VCF Fleet is nothing more than a collection of VCF instances managed by common components: #Operations and #Automation. He also presented:
options for a fail-safe architecture.
several scalability parameters:
max. 25 vCentres in one instance (1 x MGMT Domain, 24 Workload Domains)
and, consequently, max. 25 NSX Managers
max. 2,500 hosts in one instance.
vRA, or rather VCFA (VCF Automation):
In addition to creating VMs, VCF Automation introduces the option of creating so-called All Apps, which means that on the same infrastructure, using Supervisor, the user can create both a standard VM and a #k8s cluster. k8s cluster on the same infrastructure using Supervisor. Now it doesn’t matter how complex the environment is. Organisations can easily and simply create applications regardless of their architecture.
vSphere Supervisor provides compute, storage and networking through the Kubernetes API.
Organisational and design isolation through the use of Namespace.
There can be one or more supervisors in a given region.
And all this is available from a single location, which allows you to create services in different regions and projects, e.g. dev, tst, prd,
In addition, everything is stored in YAML: VMs, TKG, load balancers, disks. When you configure from the GUI, a YAML file is automatically generated.
lab hall
Well organised, quick access, smooth operation. They contain an easy description of the architecture and explain the terminology used in the introduction. In addition to clicking through, you can also run a simulation that will guide you and familiarise you with the specifics of VCF.
The photo shows the scale we are talking about, how many VMs, how much storage and how many networks were created today.
The top 3 places are taken by hol laby with VCF.
I clicked through the labs with vRA and VCF 😉
Of course, this is no substitute for working with the real VCF, but it provides a foundation for learning about and entering the world of Private Cloud, and we already have our first VCF 9.0 in our INDEVOPS lab, where we are constantly discovering something new.
