- Now that we know what VMware Cloud on AWS aims to provide, let’s look at what it is. <CLICK> VMware Cloud on AWS is powered by VMware Cloud Foundation™, a unified SDDC platform that integrates VMware vSphere, VMware Virtual SAN™ and NSX™ virtualization technologies, and will provide access to the broad range of AWS services, together with the functionality, elasticity, and security customers have come to expect from the AWS Cloud. <CLICK> It Integrates VMware’s flagship compute, storage, and network virtualization products (vSphere, VSAN and NSX) along with vCenter management, and optimizes it to run on next-generation, elastic, bare-metal AWS infrastructure. The entire stack is sold by VMware, and it is deployed, operated and supported by VMware. <CLICK>The features of the software allow customers to dynamically scale the environment, by leveraging DRS & HA compute clusters, vSAN storage clusters, and NSX network virtualization.
- KEY TAKEAWAY This slide shows a deeper view into the landscape of products that power VMware Cloud on AWS. At the hardware level, a cloud SDDC uses bare metal hardware provided by AWS. The hardware has been designed by AWS for use in very large scale environments. And note that this is bare metal hardware, there is NO nested virtualization. Even though VMware gets access to bare metal hardware, all provisioning is done via Amazon EC2 APIs. This is why the service is very scaleable and why customers can get access to on-demand VMware capacity. The NVMe flash storage in the bare metal instances is used to create the datastores. <CLICK> On top of the hardware instances sits the VMware ESXi hypervisor. The minimum cluster size is 4 hosts, the maximum is currently 32 hosts per cluster. As the hosts are quite powerful, that provides a lot of capacity in a cluster. ESXi deployed on the hosts, with VMware High Availability (HA) and Distributed Resource Scheduling (DRS) enabled. VMware maintains the hypervisor. In order not to create any conflicts or risks of environments breaking, there are a couple of restrictions: customers do net get root access to the hypervisor and no SSH access either; no vSphere Installation Buncles (VIBs) or plugins are allowed. Using vSAN, the instance storage is aggregated into a VMware datastore that is used to store all VM disk files and the meta-data about VMs. At present, there is no access to EBS or EFS from the hosts in an SDDC, only instance storage is used. VMware storage policies apply. Customers can choose, e.g., the “failures to tolerate” for their vSAN storage environment. <CLICK> VMware NSX is used for network virtualization. It allows customers to create logical networks for their workloads. NSX takes care of filtering traffic in the environment, both inbound and outbound. When a cloud SDDC is deployed two NSX edge gateways are created: one for the management components in the environment (vCenter, vSAN & NSX mgmt components), and one for the customer workloads. These are called the Management Gateway and Compute Gateway, respectively. <CLICK> The entire vSphere stack is operated, maintained and supported by VMware. Customers get delegated permissions, but not full admin rights. Access to the environment is via vCenter. Every cloud SDDC has its own dedicated vCenter instance. That can be linked to on-prem vCenter instances using the Hybrid Linked Mode. Hybrid Linked Mode is a lot like vCenter Enhanced Linked Mode. Key difference for customers is that Hybrid Linked Mode supports situations where the on-prem and cloud vCenters are not the same version.
