The Solution: VMware Cloud (VMC) on AWS Architecture

8

VMware SDDC Stack Running on AWS– Compute (vSphere), storage (VSAN), networking (NSX)– Delivered as-a-service (VMware lifecycle fully managed)

Consistent Operational Model Enables Hybrid Cloud– Full support for existing and new applications– Existing management tooling layers on top

Leverage Cloud Economics, Aligning Capacity & Demand– Single bill for VMware software + AWS infrastructure– On-demand or subscription, elastically scalable

9

Native ESX on next-generation, bare metal AWS Infrastructure

Key Concepts

10

VMware Cloud

• Fully configured VMware software stack running on cloud provider hardware

• Direct access to your dedicated vCenter Server, PSC and NSX Manager

Amazon Cloud

• Leverage state of the art compute, storage and networking

• Single all inclusive bill (SW+HW) from VMware

As a Service from VMware

Service Console

• Provision, scale and manage capacity globally

• Sign up, deploy and access your data center in minutes

VMC is sold as a Service• ‘As a Service’ Model means:

– VMware manages hypervisor and management components– AWS manages physical resources– Customer manages VMs– Customer decides how many VMs to run on vSphere!

• Customer access is via vCenter Server and VMCPortal, with some restrictions:– No root ESXi access– No VIB Installations– No VDS configuration access– No direct Management VM and Edge access

Elastic Cluster FunctionalitySolving Capacity Planning

18

Capacity Planning Is a Hard Problem

• Resource Availability for Current and Future Workload?– What’s the increase ratio of resource demand?– What’s lead-time for adding new resources to the cluster?

• Resource Availability for Recovery– What is necessary reserve failover capacity?– Trade off performance after failure against Capex and Opex of reserved failover capacity

• Maintenance Capacity– How much capacity is enough to satisfy HA and maintenance operations?

• Cloud Foundation Native Elasticity Solutions Solve These Problems

Capacity planning is a hard problem

Technical Preview

Auto Remediation• VMware High Availability solves the problem of getting workload up and running quickly

• HA Event possibly impacts workload performance due to reduction of resources

• Auto Remediation recovers from failed hardware

• Automatically provision a new node while ejecting the failed node– Failed node should be removed when new node successfully joined VSAN– In case VSAN FTT threshold is exceeded, another node is added

• VSAN Expandability – Expand VSAN Datastore with each new host

21

Improved uptime and performance

• Native vCenter functionality (Counters & Metrics )

• Host fails! It’s automatically replaced with a healthy host

• Workloads remain operational during regular host maintenance

• Cluster size during maintenance is not reduced!

• Workloads are not impacted by “Noisy Neighbors” and have optimal performance

Elastic Data Center Network OverviewFully functional Cloud Data Centers based on VMware Validated Designs

Management Pool– vCenter Server, PSC, NSX Manager– NSX Edge Gateway (MGW)

– NSX Logical Switch for management VMs– Firewall and VPN for security

Compute Pools– NSX Edge Gateway (CGW)

– NSX Logical Switch for workload VMs– Firewall and VPN for security– NAT to connect VMs to the Internet

NSX is not required on premises… but

The power of NSX with vCloud on AWS

• Consistent Network Overlay (VXLAN)

• Cross-Cloud Micro-Segmentation (Policy Stretching)

• Seamless Workload Mobility (vMotion In & Out)

Four options to connect on-premises DC with your VMware Cloud

– IPSEC VPN to Existing Network Architecture

– L2 VPN – Bespoke NSX Edge

– L2 VPN – Full NSX Deployed in On-Premises Data Center

– Cross-Center NSX with AWS Direct Connect– Private connection (no impact of internet weather)– Fastest connection (1GbE or 10GbE)– NSX Policy stretching
