Consideration to Deploy Edge Cluster in vCloud Director. Also discussing about VSAN Architecture.

If we are using vCloud Director, then Edge Cluster can not be combined with the management cluster. It can only be combined with the resource/payload/workload cluster.
If we are using VSAN, there are several consideration too if we want to use it as management cluster.
Please read these references to explain detail of the technical stuffs:
