The VMware vSphere clusters are built from bare-metal Azure hosts. These clusters are deployed and managed through the Azure portal, the Azure CLI, or PowerShell. All provisioned private clouds have the standard supported versions of VMware vCenter Server, vSAN, vSphere, and NSX included and fully licensed. If you choose the service for your company, you can gain elasticity with the ability to add and remove capacity (compute, network, and storage resources) on demand.

Each private cloud can have multiple clusters managed by the same vCenter Server and NSX Manager. Private clouds are installed and managed from within an Azure subscription. The number of private clouds within a subscription is scalable.

For each private cloud created, there's one vSphere cluster by default. You can add, delete, and scale clusters by using the Azure portal or by using the API. Microsoft offers node configurations based on core, memory, and storage requirements. Choose the type of node that's appropriate for your region; the most common choice is AV36P.
