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.

Compute Policies

VMware Cloud on AWS comes with DRS automatically enabled. The DRS parameters at the cluster level are controlled by VMware and cannot be adjusted by the cloudadmin role. However, customers have the ability to create compute policies that incorporate affinity or anti-affinity rules using vSphere categories and tags within the SDDC. These policies help govern workload placement and influence DRS behavior.

There are several types of Compute Policies available:

  • VM-host affinity rules: These rules ensure that VMs are placed on the same host to optimize performance. For example, they can be used to isolate intra-VM communication on a single host or allocate important workloads to underutilized hosts to prevent resource contention.
  • VM-host anti-affinity rules: These rules maximize workload availability by running applications on separate hosts, reducing the impact of host failures.
  • Disable DRS vMotion: Compute policies can be used to prevent workloads from...
