Scaling Hosts For On-Demand Requirements
Elastic DRS
§ Enabled at the cluster level
§ Automatically scale cluster based on utilization
§ Monitoring interval every 5 minutes
§ Enabled by default for storage only scale up
§ Scales up when ANY resource crosses pre-
defined threshold
§ Scales down when ALL resources consistently
remain below thresholds

25. 25
Allows developers to focus on business capabilities while infrastructure takes care
of application availability
Stretched Clusters for VMware Cloud on AWS
• Building on intrinsic vSphere HA as well
as automated host failure remediation
• Zero RPO high availability across AZs
• Built-in infrastructure layer – no
necessity to architect in the application
• Stretched cluster with common logical
networks with vSphere HA/DRS enabled
• Synchronous writes between AZs for
mission-critical applications
• If one AZ fails, it is simply treated as a
vSphere HA event and VM is restarted
in the other AZ

26. Hybrid Cloud Operations
§ Single view for Hybrid Cloud Management
§ Hybrid Linked Mode provides operational
consistency
§ On-Premises vCenter connects to SDDC vCenters
§ Cold Migration and vMotion from the UI
§ Per-VM EVC support for Cross-Cloud vMotion

VMware Cloud on AWS
On-prem DR Site A
On-prem DR Site BMain On-Prem Site
Extend DR protection by
deploying VMware Site
Recovery alongside existing DR
solutions from a single on-
premises deployment:
• Deploy multiple instances of
SRM 8.1 on a single vCenter
• Assign each SRM instance to
a different DR target
• Choose the DR target for
each workload by assigning
it to the relevant SRM
instance
