Lab 03 - SDDC Networking & Native AWS Integration
Updated onArticleOne of the most compelling reasons to adopt VMware Cloud on AWS is to integrate your existing systems which sit in your VMware Cloud environment, with application platforms that reside in your AWS Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) environment. The integration which VMware and AWS have created allows for these services to communicate, for free, across a private network address space for services such as EC2 instances, which connect into subnets within a native AWS VPC, or with platform services that have the ability to connect to a VPC Endpoint, such as S3 Storage.

Lab 01 - Review the SDDC
Updated onArticleVMware Cloud on AWS is an on-demand service that enables customers to run applications across vSphere-based cloud environments with access to a broad range of AWS services. Powered by VMware Cloud Foundation, this service integrates vSphere, vSAN, and NSX along with VMware vCenter management, and is optimized to run on dedicated, elastic, bare-metal AWS infrastructure. ESXi hosts in VMware Cloud on AWS reside in an AWS Availability Zone(s) (AZ) and are protected by vSphere HA.
With VMware Hybrid Cloud Extension (HCX), customers can easily and rapidly perform large-scale bi-directional migrations between on-premises and VMware Cloud on AWS environments.
With the same architecture and operational experience on-premises and in the cloud, IT teams can now quickly derive instant business value from the use of AWS services and VMware hybrid cloud experience. 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 an integrated cloud offering jointly engineered by Amazon Web Services (AWS) and VMware. You can deliver a highly scalable and secure service by migrating and extending your on-premises VMware vSphere-based environments to the AWS Cloud running on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2).

Lab 10 - Deploy Tanzu Services and Application
Updated onArticleVMware Cloud on AWS enables your IT and Operations teams to add value to your investments in AWS by extending your on-premises VMware vSphere environments to the AWS cloud. VMware Cloud on AWS is an integrated cloud offering jointly developed by Amazon Web Services (AWS) and VMware. It is optimized to run on dedicated, elastic, bare-metal Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) infrastructure.
By running VMware Tanzu within the same infrastructure as the general VM workloads organizations can immediately start their modern application development strategy without incurring additional costs. For example, you can use SDDC spare capacity to run Tanzu Kubernetes Grid to enable next-generation application modernization, or compute power not used by disaster recovery can be used for Tanzu Kubernetes Grid clusters.

Lab 09 - Working with Containers
Updated onArticleContainers are semi-isolated environments in which applications, or parts of applications, can run. Unlike VMs which run entirely separate OSes, containers directly share resources with the OS of the server that hosts the containers. This makes containers more efficient than VMs because each containerized environment does not require a complete guest OS.
Moreover, containers are isolated at the process level from other containers, as well as non-containerized processes that run on the server. This isolation makes containers more secure than multiple applications that run directly on a host server. Each container can have different environment parameters, rather than all containers sharing a common configuration.
Technology to deploy applications inside containers has existed since the introduction of the Unix chroot call in the 1970s. Containers became massively popular in the mid-2010s with the introduction of Docker and Kubernetes, which provided tooling that made it easier for developers to create and manage containerized applications.

Lab 08 - DRaaS with VMware Cloud Disaster Recovery (Part2)
Updated onArticleVMware Cloud Disaster Recovery is an on-demand disaster recovery service that provides an easy-to-use Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution and offers cloud economics to keep your disaster recovery costs under control.
You can use VMware Cloud Disaster Recovery to protect your vSphere virtual machines (VMs) by replicating them to the cloud, and recovering them as needed to a target VMware Cloud Software Defined Data Center (SDDC) on VMware Cloud on AWS. You can create the target "recovery" SDDC immediately prior to performing a recovery, and it does not need to be provisioned to support replications in a steady state.
Using VMware Cloud Disaster Recovery you can protect your On-premises and/or VMC on AWS SDDCs and recover them into the cloud.
VMware Cloud Disaster Recovery lets you deploy a recovery SDDC in VMware Cloud on AWS (or add an existing SDDC) to use for recovery and testing of your DR plans. You can add hosts, clusters, new networks, request public IP addresses, configure NAT rules, and also delete the recovery SDDC. In the event of a disaster or planned recovery operation, you can recover VMs from your protected site to your recovery SDDC.
