In VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF), SDDC Manager manages password rotation for several critical components to maintain security across the environment:

1. SDDC Manager backup user: SDDC Manager handles password management for internal accounts, including backup users, which are essential for system maintenance and recovery.

2. NSX Manager: SDDC Manager manages password rotation for NSX Manager, ensuring secure network management within the VCF environment.

3. vCenter Server Appliance: Passwords for the vCenter Server Appliance are also managed by SDDC Manager to secure the primary virtualization management interface.

In a VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) environment, the correct sequence for deploying a new Workload Domain is as follows:

1. Install the ESXi hypervisor on the physical hosts to prepare them for integration into the VCF environment.

2. Commission hosts in SDDC Manager, which makes the hosts available for assignment to a workload domain.

3. Create a network pool for the Workload Domain, ensuring proper network segmentation and configuration for the domain.

4. Assign permissions on the newly deployed vCenter Server to provide necessary access and roles for administrators.

5. Deploy Workload Domain using SDDC Manager to set up the Workload Domain with the appropriate resources and configurations.

This order ensures that each step is completed in the necessary sequence for a successful Workload Domain deployment.

In VMware Cloud Foundation, Lifecycle Manager within the SDDC Manager is responsible for managing the lifecycle of all components in a workload domain. This includes monitoring, upgrading, and patching ESXi hosts, vCenter, NSX, and other integrated components within the workload domain. After the new workload domain is deployed and configured, Lifecycle Manager ensures that the environment remains up-to-date and compliant with VMware's best practices, making it essential for ongoing maintenance and support.
