Editor's Notes
- VMware Cloud on AWS together with VMware Hybrid Cloud Extension enables customers to accelerate their cloud migration in the simplest, fastest and lowest risk way with compelling TCO. VMware CloudTM on AWS brings VMware’s enterprise class Software-Defined Data Center software to the AWS Cloud, and enables customers to run production applications across VMware vSphere®-based private, public and hybrid cloud environments, with optimized access to AWS services. Delivered, sold and supported by VMware and its partners as an on-demand service, VMware Cloud on AWS enables IT teams to manage their cloud-based resources with familiar VMware tools – without the hassles of learning new skills or utilizing new tools. VMware Cloud on AWS integrates VMware’s flagship compute, storage and network virtualization products (VMware vSphere®, VMware vSANTM and VMware NSX®) along with VMware vCenter® management and robust disaster protection, and optimizes it to run on dedicated, elastic, Amazon EC2 bare-metal infrastructure that is fully integrated as part of the AWS Cloud. With the same architecture and operational experience on-premises and in the cloud, IT teams can now quickly derive instant business value from use of the AWS and VMware hybrid cloud experience. VMware SDDC running on AWS bare metal Sold, operated & supported by VMware & its partners On-demand capacity & flexible consumption Full operational consistency with on-premises SDDC Seamless workload portability and hybrid operations Global AWS footprint, reach, availability Direct access to native AWS services VMware Hybrid Cloud Extension (HCX) provides application migration and infrastructure hybridity without application downtime or infrastructure retrofit. The VMware HCX service offers bi-directional application landscape mobility and datacenter extension capabilities between any vSphere version. HCX includes patent-pending capabilities to support VMware vSphere® vMotion®, Bulk Migration, High Throughput Network Extension, WAN optimization, traffic engineering, automated VPN with Strong Encryption (Suite B) and secured datacenter interconnectivity with built-in vSphere protocol proxies. VMware HCX enables cloud on-boarding without retrofitting source infrastructure supporting migration from vSphere 5.0+ to VMware Cloud on AWS without introducing application risk and complex migration assessments.
- For those customers that want to adopt cloud, cloud migration-data center evacuations is the top use-case – followed by DR/DC extension.
- Slide 18: Flexible Consumption KEY TAKEAWAY VMware Cloud on AWS will have flexible, consumption-based billing and payment options to meet your needs. These mechanisms will be delivered over time TALKING POINTS Buying and paying for VMware Cloud on AWS is simple, and easy, with several models available. Billing: Pay-per-use; 1-3 year subscriptions; in addition to buy-on services Payment: VMware SPP or HPP credits; Purchase orders; or credit cards Hybrid Loyalty Program will provide discounts for on-premises licenses
- Regional expansion: Asia Pacific and Multi-national customers can now rapidly deploy VMware Cloud on AWS SDDC in the AWS Asia Pacific ( Sydney ) region. This brings our service to a the US, European and now Asia Pacific markets increasing total availability to 5 AWS regions in a short span of 12 months. Coming Soon in Q4 2018 – … expansion to additional Asia Pacific regions.
- We listen to our customers and partners – you have told us to bring Vmware Cloud on AWS to you where your business operates. We have worked hard on this jointly with AWS and are excited to share the global roll out path for Vmware Cloud on AWS – accelerating from one region a quarter to 4 regions a quarter.
- To ensure all environments behave correctly, VMware manages the systems exclusively. As a result, customers are unable to use root access or install VIBs. If the customer is using a third-party vendor on-prem for particular services, they should interface with their partner and ask if they have plans to support the VMC model. Customers can log on to the vCenter, and use it to operate and manage their environment, however they do not have direct access to the appliance and cannot apply any changes to the vCenter appliance itself. By focusing on consuming resources they do not have to deal with host based operations. The customer only has to focus on how to consume resources at cluster level. The cluster becomes in the new building block in their design paradigm.
- Over 99% of our customers use vSphere clusters. Clusters are one of the basic building blocks of managing traditional infrastructure. Typically, administrators create a cluster, add hosts, configure clustering services (HA, DRS, etc.), and start running workloads (i.e. VMs). This approach has been widely adopted and has become a de facto clustering model in private datacenters. However, there are limitations with our current clustering approach. If there are host failures or VMs demanding more capacity, availability and/or performance of the VMs could be compromised until the administrator adds more hosts/resources to the cluster. Elastic DRS is able to automatically scales up/down cluster resource based on VMs/Applications demand. To facilitate growing or shrinking of the cluster or to satisfy SLAs the customer can set a minimum and maximum threshold. This threshold is used during automatic scaling up or downing down of the cluster.
- The same fleet management framework is used for auto remediation HA. Short term host outages such as a PSODs are usually be absorbed by the remaining hosts, VM are restarted on other hosts but the VMs might have a reduced amount of resources available to them. But if the host fails indefinitely, resource management problems occur. The IT org needs to order, rack stack and configure the new server when it finally arrives. On average this process takes 6 to 12 weeks. During this time SLAs could be breached. Some customers over provision their clusters to avoid long-term resource availability, but not every customer likes the economics of this design. VMC avoids long term resource depletion by automatically adding a host if the host fails or a component is degraded. For example an entire host failure or flash device failure. A new host is automatically provisioned, configured and added to the cluster without human interaction. The failed host is removed from the cluster as long as it does not violate VSAN FTM policy. VMC distinguishes in the severity of the failure and the impact of recovery operations. For example if a h/w failure crashes the host, the host is not automatically removed as vSAN needs to distribute the data across the other hosts in the cluster. It makes sense just to re-add the hosts to the cluster to avoid unnecessary rebuild network traffic and possible risks during the rebuild process.
- Stretched clusters for VMware Cloud on AWS: Zero RPO high availability for vSphere-based workloads across AWS Availability Zones (AZ), leveraging multi-AZ stretched clustering now available Significantly improve your application’s availability without needing to architect it into your application – the VMware Cloud on AWS infrastructure delivers protection against failures of AWS AZs at an infrastructure level. Stretching an SDDC cluster across two AWS AZs within a region means if an AZ goes down, it is simply treated as a vSphere HA event and the virtual machine is restarted in the other AZ. Stretched clusters enable developers to focus on core application requirements and capabilities, instead of infrastructure availability. In addition, vMotion between hosts in a stretched cluster is also available: this feature allows customers to live migrate workloads in a cluster that spans 2 AWS availability zones.
- One of the key storage technologies that both VMware Cloud on AWS supports is vSAN, which is a hyper-converged, software-defined storage (SDS) that pools together direct-attached storage devices across a VMware vSphere cluster to create a distributed, shared data store. Before today’s announcement, vSAN on VMware Cloud on AWS would use the same pool of hosts within a vSphere cluster for both storage and compute, and customers are not able to scale their storage without occurring additional cost for compute. With today’s announcement, customers have options for more cost-effective deployment especially if they have storage-intense workloads. Customers can first deploy their VMware Cloud on AWS using I3.metal instance type, then subsequently choose either I3.metal or R5.metal for additional clusters. If they choose R5.metal, vSAN will use EBS storage by default and this provides a more cost-effective option for customer environments that have large storage capacity need (>60TB) but without highly intensive IOPS requirements.
- Today, customers need to set up IPsec VPN over DX to establish connectivity between on-premises and their VMware Cloud on AWS workloads. To make it easier for customers and improve network performance, we are introducing integration of NSX with AWS Direct Connect for private and high-performance connectivity to on-premises. This enables private and consistent connectivity between VMware workloads running on AWS and those running on-premises and also accelerates migration to cloud and enables multi-tier hybrid applications. Customers can now use AWS Direct Connect for all of their hybrid connectivity requirements.
- VMware customers have been using vSAN encryption to protect data at rest in their vSAN cluster, including those in VMware Cloud on AWS. Many of them also use AWS Key Management Service (KMS) keys to protect their applications running in Amazon EC2. With today’s announcement, Customers can now take advantage of built-in vSAN encryption with AWS Key Management Service. This enables encryption of data at rest with AWS’s managed service for creating and controlling the encryption keys. Customers can go into vCenter, apply a policy of AWS KMS encryption, and have all data in VMware Cloud on AWS encrypted using the same keys.
- Enable customers to obtain a single logical view and hybrid management of both on-premises & VMware Cloud on AWS resources from vCenter Cloud Gateway, a new on-premises virtual appliance. Customers can use this appliance to configure Hybrid Linked Mode and link to their vCenter Server instance running in VMware Cloud on AWS
- Last year we announced a Single Sign On log in for all vmware saas services. Now we have enhanced the log in to all vmware saas services and made that a lot more secure. Two features that I want to highlight – multi-factor authentication where you can have a secondary identity source validate your login – available today and Second one is being able to federate identity with your corporate identity – bring your own corporate identity provider and integrate it with vmware cloud services – it is not only applicable for vmware cloud on aws but all vmware cloud services.
- Our cloud put the abstraction layer across the clouds and expose the API’s. These API’s can be consumed by Blueprints or other application frameworks, such as cloud foundry, PKS functions as a service, etc. On top of all this there can be a catalog for a self service experience, business policies (i.e. approvals, entitlements, etc.) and a release (CD) pipeline. Our cloud automation services encompass these 3 areas: Cloud Assembly is a declarative Infra as Code cloud abstraction layer as well as where blueprints are created. Service Broker is an aggregator of content that provides self service for cloud assembly blueprints to 3rd party content such as AWS CFT, and also enables a governance layer. Code Stream is a continuous delivery release pipeline that allows developers to model the entire release process. Code Stream also incorporates a release dashboard to keep track of all the release KPIs Now we will walk through more details on how each of these services work…
- With VMware Service Broker users can: Catalog item can be aggregated from a variety of sources (e.g. Cloud Assembly, AWS CFTs etc.) Users of the service catalog are entitled to various content based on their individual access policies For each item various forms of governance can be applied (e.g. leases, approvals, cost, etc.) Catalog items can be requested in the portal with specific sizes, images, etc. A self service model is enabled as catalog items can be provisioned directly from the catalog
- To simplify developers’ live and increase productivity, Code Stream provides capabilities around application deployment, testing, and troubleshooting. Developers will be able to request the latest certified application build from the catalog, deploy and test their changes against a sandbox or existing environment, and track the progress of their code across environments after committing their change. To accelerate time-to-value, we’ll also provide more pre-built pipeline plugins to tools such as WaveFront and Log Insight for troubleshooting, Harbor and Nexus for repositories, Kubernetes for container orchestration, Ansible for configuration management, and Slack for notifications and collaboration. And finally, we’ll be providing customizable dashboard so that DevOps teams can measure release KPIs and identify bottlenecks or problem areas in the release process.

- Key points to highlight: Simple ways for our customers to get started with VMware Cloud on AWS – and both have exciting promotions. Always refer to the pricing website for details of the promotion. Starter Single Host SDDC is for proof of value – not for production environments and the single host resets after 30 days – within those 30 days customers can upgrade to a production SDDC with no loss of work/interruption. Does not come with an SLA and while it has many of the VMware Cloud on AWS capabilities, it does not have those capabilities that depend on having more than 1 host – for e.g., DRS, HA etc. The list price of this offering in USD is 7$/hr/host on-demand. With the limited period 20% off promotion, this brings the effective price to $5.6/hr./host Production 3 host SDDC comes with SLA, no time limits and has the comprehensive set of VMware Cloud on AWS capabilities. In prior releases, customers would need 4 hosts minimum for a production cluster. Now with this release, customers can provision a 3 host production cluster. List price of an on-demand production host is ~8.37/hr/host. This would mean that a 3 host cluster would have a list price of $25.1/hr/on-demand. We are now offering a special limited time offer where customers can purchase the 3 host cluster at the price of 2 hosts or effective price 16.7$/hr for the 3 host on-demand cluster. Both offerings have promotions that you will be excited about.
