A company has recently deployed a new VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) virtual infrastructure.

Before shutting down a VI Workload Domain in a VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) environment, it is critical to ensure that complete backups of all management components are available. This precaution safeguards against data loss and enables recovery if any issues arise during or after the shutdown. Management components are essential for the operation of VCF, so having backups ensures that the environment can be restored if necessary.
