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 03 - Provisioning Automation and Day-2 Operations with Aria Automation Cloud
Updated onArticleBig enterprises are heterogeneous and different teams use different tools. The skills and knowledge required to manage each ‘toolset silo’ are very different. And while each team should be allowed to choose the tools that make them the most productive, every additional cloud account becomes an extra challenge for the IT operations team. Complexity increases exponentially, the cloud bill sky-rockets and the company finds itself exposed to security and operational risks. Someone needs to keep tabs and establish the guardrails that will get this situation under control.
VMware Aria Automation Cloud consists of Assembler, Service Broker and Pipelines. Aria Automation Cloud makes it easy and efficient for IT developers to get what they need to build and deploy applications.
It provides a unified management solution across clouds, whether VMware powered or public. Based on modern Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) and DevOps principles, it empowers agility and collaboration across tenant teams and functions while supplying providers with checks and controls to contain cost and risk exposure. It offers capabilities on service brokerage, cloud governance, workload orchestration, topology composition, workflow automation and CI/CD pipelines for infrastructure and application delivery
Aria Assembler
Aria Assembler is VMware’s approach to building a declarative blueprinting and automation solution-enabling, Infrastructure-as-Code first experience between public (AWS / VMware Cloud on AWS, Azure, GCP) and private (vSphere) cloud endpoints. It is designed to act as a conduit to consuming services from multiple cloud environments, with public cloud given more priority within the platform. The interface for Assembler is primarily focused on providing an ‘administrator’ view of the platformService Broker
It enables providers to aggregate native content from multiple clouds and platforms into a single catalog with role-based policies. It is focused on exposing service provisioning to end users: primarily cloud templates from Assembler and Amazon Cloud Formation templates. Its interface is focused on the ‘User’ view of the platformPipelines
It allows providers to help tenants speed software delivery and streamline troubleshooting with release pipelines and analytics. They can integrate development tools and automate code release. There are many possibilities to interact with virtually any system to make advanced pipelines for application and infrastructure delivery. Pipelines is mainly focused on the SRE/DevOps lead use cases.Multi-Cloud Management Day 2
