VMware clould on AWS

The best of Private and Public Cloud VMware and AWS has launched the hybrid cloud in 2016. It has been nearly 2 years and some users out there still have some misconceptions around the implementation of the Hybrid cloud setup. in VMWorld 2018 they have showcase some of the new features that comes as standard when we signup.

Single host cluster for trial purpose. however this will then need to scale up to 3 node cluster to be fully supported by VMware.

For a limited time period, customer can take advantage of a new promotion that offers three hosts at the price of two. Promotion extended to Feb 1, 2019. ( too late for this)

No NSX no Problem, some users think that VMware Cloud on AWS can not be setup without having NSX this is simply not correct. We can setup same single host cluster without NSX.

Having NSX gives you the full SDDC stack functionally which you may not be able to leverage.

These are the options for connectivity:

Connection using the VPC provides low latency, high throughput with seamless connectivity to the customer environment .

Using the Direct Connect we can leverage NSX if you have already got it implement with in your SDDC environment.

Alternatively for SDDC customer who needs to connect to more then one VPC’s can create tunnels over AWS backbone infrastructure using an AWS-managed VPN based on the connectivity requirements. 

Remember when you open and account you will be signing up with VMware ( you will eventually get an aws  account created at the back end to be able to leverage all the aws products too). To sign up for an account you can follow the link below: httpss://cloud.vmware.com/vmc-aws
