Zero2Hero: Constraint Tags & Placement (Cloud Assembly)

In this video we are going to talk about deployment decisions are being made in VMware Cloud Assembly and how we can affect these with Constraint and Capability Tags:
0:00 Intro
0:26 Agenda
1:20 Review: Typical Cloud Assembly configurations
4:54 Typical blueprint example
7:04 How placement works for example blueprint (including discussion on "grouping")
10:00 Groups created when deploying our example blueprint
12:00 Another use case and the grouping that occurs
14:15 What are constraints? Types of tags in Cloud Assembly
15:17 Example of capability tags and constraint tags (network profile)
16:35 Example storage profile capability tag
19:12 How to use constraint tags in a blueprint to force placement
19:27 Capability tags on cloud accounts
21:10 Capability tags on cloud zones
23:49 Constraint tags on network profiles
26:08 Using constraint tag to force machine to be placed on a network
26:54 Using constraint tag to force machine to be placed on a storage tier
28:23 Official documentation about deployment decision algorithm
32:33 Rule of thumb: Each group in a deployment needs to be placed in a single location
34:41 "No suitable location was found for placement that satisfies all requirements"
35:40 Different types of tags you can have in a blueprint
36:15 "Hard" constraint tags
37:12 "Soft" constraint tags
37:58 "Negative" constraint tags
38:32 Overriding tags at the project level
40:00 Best practice #1
43:34 Best practice #2
45:10 Priorities
46:15 Extensibility constraints (both vRO workflows and ABX actions)
48:59 What happens if there is/isn't extensibility constraint
51:42 Another extensibility use case
