 What is the Small Footprint TAS for VMs?
The Small Footprint TAS for VMs is a streamlined version of the Tanzu Platform for Cloud Foundry (TAS for VMs) that requires fewer virtual machines (VMs) for deployment. This approach is designed to reduce resource consumption and simplify management while still providing the necessary components for a fully functional Tanzu Platform for Cloud Foundry environment.

In a standard TAS for VMs deployment, you would need at least 13 VMs to host the required components. These include:

1. Cloud Controller: Manages the overall state of the Tanzu Platform for Cloud Foundry.
2. Cloud Controller Worker: Assists the Cloud Controller in managing the platform.
3. Clock Global: Provides a global clock for the platform.
4. Diego BBS: A message broker for communication between components.
5. Diego Brain: A message broker for communication between components.
6. Diego Cell: A message broker for communication between components.
7. Doppler Server: Monitors the health of the platform and its components.
8. Loggregator Traffic Controller: Manages traffic between components.
9. NATS: A lightweight messaging system for communication between components.
10. Router: Routes traffic between components.
11. Syslog Adapter: Collects and forwards system logs.
12. Syslog Scheduler: Schedules and dispatches system logs.
13. UAA: A user account and authentication service.

Optional VMs that can be added to the deployment include:

1. File Storage: A storage system for user data.
2. HAProxy: A load balancer for distributing traffic.
3. Backup Restore Node: A node for managing backups and restores.
4. MySQL Monitor: A monitoring system for MySQL databases.
5. MySQL Proxy: A proxy for MySQL databases.
6. MySQL Server: A MySQL database server.
7. TCP Router: A router for TCP traffic.
8. CredHub: A service for managing credentials.

In contrast, the Small Footprint TAS for VMs requires only four VMs:

1. Compute: A virtual machine that runs the Tanzu Platform for Cloud Foundry.
2. Control

A standard TAS for VMs deployment must have at least 13 VMs, but Small Footprint TAS for VMs requires only four.

Required VMs: Cloud Controller, Cloud Controller Worker, Clock Global, Diego BBS, Diego Brain, Diego Cell, Doppler Server, Loggregator Traffic Controller, NATS, Router, Syslog Adapter, Syslog Scheduler, and UAA.
Optional VMs: File Storage, HAProxy, Backup Restore Node, MySQL Monitor, MySQL Proxy, MySQL Server, TCP Router, and CredHub.
For Small Footprint TAS for VMs:

Required VMs: Compute, Control, Database, and Router.
