createEnvironment

Creates an Amazon EVS environment that runs VCF software, such as SDDC Manager, NSX Manager, and vCenter Server.

During environment creation, Amazon EVS performs validations on DNS settings, provisions VLAN subnets and hosts, and deploys the supplied version of VCF.

It can take several hours to create an environment. After the deployment completes, you can configure VCF in the vSphere user interface according to your needs.

When creating a new environment, the default ESX version for the selected VCF version will be used, you cannot choose a specific ESX version in CreateEnvironment action. When a host has been added with a specific ESX version, it can only be upgraded using vCenter Lifecycle Manager.

You cannot use the dedicatedHostId and placementGroupId parameters together in the same CreateEnvironment action. This results in a ValidationException response.
