According to the VMware Cloud Foundation documentation1, the following audit tasks are performed and validation results are displayed on the UI:
JSON specifications validation: Validates the completeness and correctness of the specifications of JSON.
Well-Formed JSON File: Validates JSON correctness, syntax, null values, and missing fields or components.
Password validation: Validates specified passwords. Checks for minimum length, invalid characters, and format.
ESXi host version validation: Validates ESXi version installed on the hosts and compares against the VCF-EMS manifest located in /opt/evosddc/bundle/scripts/manifest.json on the Cloud Foundation Builder VM.
Cloud Builder Readiness: Validates whether the requirements to run the Cloud Foundation Builder VM are met.
License key format: Validates format, validity, and expiry for ESX, vSAN, vCenter Server, NSX, and Log Insight license keys.
ESXi Host Readiness
Network configuration: Validates CIDR to IP address validity, IP addresses in use, gateways, invalid or missing VLANs, invalid or missing MTU, and network spec availability for all components.
Time Synchronization: Validates the time on the components is synchronized with the NTP server in the SDDC Manager.
Network Connectivity: Validates network connectivity between hosts and between hosts and other components.
Stretched Cluster validation is not a configuration that is validated during the VMware Cloud Foundation bring-up process, because it is an optional feature that can be enabled after the bring-up process is completed2
Cloud Builder Log Configuration validation is not a valid option, because there is no such configuration in the VMware Cloud Foundation bring-up process. The Cloud Builder VM generates logs that can be downloaded for troubleshooting purposes, but they are not validated during the bring-up process3
NSX Edge validation is not a configuration that is validated during the VMware Cloud Foundation bring-up process, because NSX Edge nodes are not deployed during the bring-up process. They are deployed when creating a VI workload domain or enabling Application Virtual Networks (AVNs).
