5. Creating and Managing vApps
The vApp is a virtual application container, and is the basic construct for workloads in a vCloud deployment. vCloud vApps are similar to vApps in vSphere, but vCloud extends the attributes of a vApp. A vSphere and vCloud Director vApp can contain one or more virtual machines. A multitiered, vCloud vApp includes the attributes of each component—SLAs, role-based access controls (RBAC), and lifecycle management.
