Public cloud to private cloud made easy by VMware Cloud on AWS offerings.
What is VMware Cloud on AWS? It is a Software-defined data center (SDDC) Three major components are :
Compute Virtualization using ESXi
Storage Virtualization using vSAN
Network Virtualization using NSX
Compute *Bare Metal *I3.16XL Equivalent *36 Cores / 72 vCPUs *512GiB Memory *15 TiB NVMe All-Flash Storage *25Gb ENA VMware Cloud on AWS is an integrated cloud offering jointly developed by AWS and VMware delivering a highly scalable, secure and innovative service that allows organizations to seamlessly migrate and extend their on-premises VMware vSphere-based environments to the AWS Cloud running on next-generation Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) bare metal infrastructure. VMware Cloud on AWS is ideal for enterprise IT infrastructure and operations organizations looking to migrate their on-premises vSphere-based workloads to the public cloud, consolidate and extend their data center capacities, and optimize, simplify and modernize their disaster recovery solutions. VMware Cloud on AWS is delivered, sold, and supported globally by VMware and its partners with availability in the following AWS Regions: US West (Oregon), US East (N. Virginia), Europe (London), and Europe (Frankfurt).
VMware Cloud on AWS brings the broad, diverse and rich innovations of AWS services natively to the enterprise applications running on VMware's compute, storage and network virtualization platforms. This allows organizations to easily and rapidly add new innovations to their enterprise applications by natively integrating AWS infrastructure and platform capabilities such as AWS Lambda, Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS), Amazon S3, Elastic Load Balancing, Amazon RDS, Amazon DynamoDB, Amazon Kinesis and Amazon Redshift, among many others.
With VMware Cloud on AWS, organizations can simplify their Hybrid IT operations by using the same VMware Cloud Foundation technologies including vSphere, vSAN, NSX, and vCenter Server across their on-premises data centers and on the AWS Cloud without having to purchase any new or custom hardware, rewrite applications, or modify their operating models. The service automatically provisions infrastructure and provides full VM compatibility and workload portability between your on-premises environments and the AWS Cloud. With VMware Cloud on AWS, you can leverage AWS's breadth of services, including compute, databases, analytics, Internet of Things (IoT), security, mobile, deployment, application services, and more. Bare Metal Cloud Infrastructure
VMware Cloud on AWS provides the VMware SDDC software stack to the highly scalable AWS Cloud, including vSphere, vSAN, NSX, and vCenter Server. Each SDDC consists of 4 to 32 hosts, each with 36 cores, 512 GiB of memory, and 15.2TB raw (roughly 21TB usable capacity in an initial 4 host cluster) of NVMe storage. You can deploy a fully configured VMware SDDC Cluster in under a few hours, and scale host capacity up and down in minutes.
Deploying and Managing a Software-Defined Data Center Deploying a Software-Defined Data Center (SDDC) is the first step in making use of the VMware Cloud on AWS service. After you deploy the SDDC, you can view information about it and perform management tasks. There are a number of factors to consider before deploying your SDDC. Connected AWS account
When you deploy an SDDC on VMware Cloud on AWS, it is created within an AWS account and VPC dedicated to your organization and managed by VMware. You must also connect the SDDC to an AWS account belonging to you, referred to as the customer AWS account. This connection allows your SDDC to access AWS services belonging to your customer account.
If you are deploying a Single Host SDDC, you can delay linking your customer AWS account for up to two weeks. You cannot scale up a Single Host SDDC to a multiple host SDDC until you link an AWS account. If you are deploying a multiple host SDDC, you must link your customer AWS account when you deploy the SDDC.
SDDC Networking
When you create an SDDC, it includes a Management Network and a Compute Network. The Management Network has two subnets.
Appliance Subnet
A subnet of the CIDR range you specified for the Management Subnet when you created the SDDC. This subnet is used by the vCenter, NSX, and HCX appliances in the SDDC. When you add appliance-based services such as SRM to the SDDC, they also connect to this subnet.
Infrastructure Subnet
A subnet of the CIDR range you specified for the Management Subnet when you created the SDDC. This subnet is used by the ESXi hosts in the SDDC.
The compute network can have up to 16 segments for your workload VMs. In a Single Host SDDC starter configuration, the compute network is created with one routed segment. In SDDC configurations that have more hosts, you'll have to create compute network segments to meet your needs.
A Tier 0 NSX Edge appliance sits between your on-premises networks and your SDDC networks, and routes traffic to either the management network or the compute network as appropriate.
Microsoft SharePoint is a web-based collaborative platform that integrates with Microsoft Office. It's primarily used for document management and storage but also offers a wide range of capabilities such as intranet, content management, workflow management, business intelligence, and enterprise search. SharePoint allows users to create sites where they can share documents, information, and ideas within their organization. These sites can be customized to fit specific needs, such as team collaboration, project management, or departmental portals. Some key features of SharePoint include: Document Management: Users can upload, store, organize, and share documents within SharePoint sites. Version control ensures that users are always working with the latest version of a document. Collaboration: SharePoint facilitates collaboration among team members through features like document co-authoring, discussion boards, calendars, and task lists. Intranet and Portals: SharePoint can be used...
What is perimeter security? Perimeter security, in the context of cybersecurity, refers to the measures and strategies implemented to protect an organization's internal network from external threats. It establishes a boundary, or perimeter, between the organization's internal network and the external environment, such as the internet. The goal of perimeter security is to prevent unauthorized access, attacks, and breaches from reaching the internal network and its resources. Here are some key components and concepts related to perimeter security: Firewalls: Firewalls are the cornerstone of perimeter security. They inspect incoming and outgoing network traffic based on predefined rules and policies. Firewalls can block or allow traffic based on factors such as IP addresses, port numbers, and protocols. Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems (IDPS): IDPS solutions monitor network traffic for signs of malicious activity or known attack patterns. They can detect and prevent i...
The Well-Architected Framework is a set of best practices and guidelines designed to help cloud architects build secure, high-performing, resilient, and efficient infrastructure for their applications. The framework is developed by AWS (Amazon Web Services), but similar principles can be applied to other cloud platforms. The Well-Architected Framework consists of five pillars, each addressing a key aspect of building well-designed and well-operated systems. These pillars are: Operational Excellence: Focuses on operational practices that ensure efficient and effective use of cloud resources. Key considerations include monitoring, incident response, automation, and overall operational health. Security: Emphasizes the importance of implementing robust security measures to protect data, systems, and assets. Covers data protection, identity and access management, and incident response, among other security aspects. Reliability: Aims to ensure a system's ability to recover from failures ...
