VMware Cloud on AWS Blueprint: Design, automate, and migrate VMware workloads on AWS global infrastructure
Synopsis "VMware Cloud on AWS Blueprint: Design, automate, and migrate VMware workloads on AWS global infrastructure"
Explore use cases and best practices to seamlessly migrate and scale legacy enterprise-grade applications running on on-premises vSphere environments to VMware Cloud SDDCs running on AWS infrastructureKey FeaturesUnderstand data center extension, migration, disaster recovery, and app modernization through a variety of use casesBecome an expert at configuring, automating, and troubleshooting VMC on AWS SDDCImplement design considerations, best practices, and onboarding preflight checklist for optimal performance on VMC on AWSPurchase of the print or Kindle book includes a free PDF eBookBook DescriptionIf you're looking to effortlessly transition from on-premises VMware vSphere environments or capital expenditure (CAPEX) to an agile operational expenditure (OPEX) model, trust the VMware Cloud (VMC) on AWS platform for swift re-platforming of legacy applications into cloud-native framework. This comprehensive guide addresses hybrid cloud challenges, offering detailed solutions within the VMware Cloud on AWS ecosystem.Covering the foundational architecture, software-defined data center (SDDC) components of VMware Cloud on AWS, network and security configurations, and AWS service integrations, this book lays the foundation for you to advance to vCenter management, vSAN storage policies, NSX architecture, compute policies, SDDC console management, and the EDRS mechanism for cluster scaling. You'll also explore integrated services such as VMware HCX for migration, VMware Aria suite, Tanzu Managed Kubernetes, and disaster recovery.Further, the book takes you through VMware Cloud APIs and guides you in managing workloads with VMware Cloud on AWS Outposts. With the help of practical insights, configuration tips, and best practices, you'll unlock the full potential of VMC on AWS.By the end of this book, you'll be equipped to successfully architect and manage VMware Cloud on AWS SDDCs, handling day-to-day operations expertly.What you will learnExamine the foundational architecture components of VMware Cloud on AWS, including vSphere, vSAN, and NSXExplore the various integrated services available within VMware Cloud on AWSDelve into VMware Cloud on AWS SDDC, vCenter, and vSAN optimizationsBuild applications and apply best practices within the VMware Cloud on AWS to manage day-to-day operationsStreamline infrastructure management for VMware Cloud on AWS with Infrastructure as Code (IaC)Extend cloud capabilities to on-premises environments using VMware Cloud on AWS OutpostsWho this book is forThe book is intended for cloud and solutions architects, DevOps engineers, site reliability engineers (SREs), system and network admins, and cloud engineers with experience in on-premises VMware or AWS administration, facilitating the seamless integration of VMware cloud technologies.
