In VMware Cloud Foundation 9.0 and vSphere Supervisor architectures, the decision to deploy aSingle-Zoneor aMulti-ZoneSupervisor is made at the time ofinitial enablement. A Single-Zone Supervisor is tied to a specific vSphere Cluster. A Multi-Zone Supervisor requires a minimum of three vSphere Zones (each mapped to a cluster) to be defined before the Supervisor is deployed so that the Control Plane VMs can be distributed for high availability.

Currently, there is no supported " in-place " migration path to convert a deployed Single-Zone Supervisor into a Multi-Zone Supervisor by simply adding zones later. If an organization requires the high availability provided by a three-zone architecture, the administrator must decommission the existing Single-Zone Supervisor and then re-enable the Supervisor Service using the Multi-Zone configuration wizard. This design ensures that the underlying Kubernetes Control Plane components are correctly instantiated with the necessary quorum and anti-affinity rules that can only be established during the initial " Workload Management " setup phase.
