Overview of this book

If you’re looking to effortlessly transition from on-premises VMware vSphere environments or capital expenditure (CAPEX) to an agile operational expenditure (OPEX) model, trust the VMware Cloud (VMC) on AWS platform for swift re-platforming of legacy applications into cloud-native framework. This comprehensive guide addresses hybrid cloud challenges, offering detailed solutions within the VMware Cloud on AWS ecosystem. Covering the foundational architecture, software-defined data center (SDDC) components of VMware Cloud on AWS, network and security configurations, and AWS service integrations, this book lays the foundation for you to advance to vCenter management, vSAN storage policies, NSX architecture, compute policies, SDDC console management, and the EDRS mechanism for cluster scaling. You’ll also explore integrated services such as VMware HCX for migration, VMware Aria suite, Tanzu Managed Kubernetes, and disaster recovery. Further, the book takes you through VMware Cloud APIs and guides you in managing workloads with VMware Cloud on AWS Outposts. With the help of practical insights, configuration tips, and best practices, you’ll unlock the full potential of VMC on AWS. By the end of this book, you’ll be equipped to successfully architect and manage VMware Cloud on AWS SDDCs, handling day-to-day operations expertly.

vSAN storage policies

Virtual SAN (vSAN) is a key component of VMware Cloud on AWS, providing software-defined storage capabilities. All the ESXi hosts in a cluster establish communication through a dedicated vSAN network. By combining their disk groups, the hosts are consolidated into the vSAN datastore, which employs a non-volatile memory express (NVMe) all-flash configuration for cache and capacity tiers.

Datastores serve as logical storage containers for storing VM files. They provide a standardized approach to storing VM files, abstracting the underlying storage system details. Additionally, datastores are useful for housing content libraries containing ISO images and VM templates.

The vSAN Object Store Filesystem (OSFS) allows the combination of Virtual Machine File System (VMFS) volumes from each host into a single datastore, enabling streamlined management.

To leverage the capabilities of vSAN, customers can configure VM Storage Policies tailored to their workload...
