  The VISTA survey of the Magellanic Clouds system (VMC) began observations in
2009 and since then, it has collected multi-epoch data at Ks and in addition
multi-band data in Y and J for a wide range of stellar populations across the
Magellanic system. Among them are pulsating variable stars: Cepheids, RR Lyrae,
and asymptotic giant branch stars that represent useful tracers of the host
system geometry.
