Organizations over the world are migrating partially or fully to the cloud, but with the whole slew of providers, tools, and platforms available, knowing where to start can be quite challenging. If you know Microsoft Azure VMware Solution, you know it is the quickest way to migrate to the cloud without needing application modernization or rework. You can retain the same VMware tools to manage your environment while moving to Azure. But how does it work? The Ins and Outs of Azure VMware Solution has the answer.
This high-level, comprehensive yet concise guide to Azure VMware Solution starts by taking you through the architecture and its applicable use cases. It will help you hit the ground running by getting straight to the important steps: planning, deploying, configuring, and managing your Azure VMware Solution instance. You'll be able to extend your existing knowledge of Azure and VMware by covering advanced topics such as SRM and governance, setting up a hybrid connection to your on-premises datacenter, and scaling up using disk pools.
By the end of the VMware book, you'll have gone over everything you need to transition to the cloud with ease using Azure VMware Solution.

Preface

Azure VMware Solution (AVS) is a first-party Microsoft Azure service developed in conjunction with VMware that provides a familiar vSphere-based, single-tenant private cloud on Azure that is like the one used by VMware. The VMware technology stack consists of the following components: vSphere, NSX-T, vSAN, and HCX. AVS is installed on dedicated infrastructure in Azure data centers and runs natively on that infrastructure. In comparison to existing on-premises VMware infrastructures, AVS provides a consistent and well-known user experience. Customers may deploy an AVS environment in a matter of hours and migrate virtual machine (VM) resources in a matter of minutes. Microsoft supplies all the networking, storage, management, and support services that are required.

By the end of this book, you will have learned how to plan, deploy, and configure an AVS environment for real-world results.

Who this book is for

This book is intended for VMware administrators, cloud solutions architects, and anyone interested in learning how to deploy, configure, and manage an AVS environment in Azure. It is also for technology leaders who want to get out of the data center business or expand their on-premises data center into Microsoft Azure.

This book’s readers should already be familiar with VMware solutions and understand Azure networking.

What this book covers

, , explains how AVS provides a consistent, well-known user experience with existing on-premises VMware environments. Customers can deploy an AVS environment in just a few hours and quickly migrate VM resources.

, , is all about the open source Azure Resource Manager and Bicep templates in the Enterprise-scale scenario for AVS. The Enterprise-scale implementation follows the architecture and best practices of the Cloud Adoption Framework’s Azure landing zones, focusing on enterprise-scale design concepts.

, , identifies and acquires everything that you need for your deployment throughout the planning stage since for a successful production-ready environment for building VMs and migration, planning your AVS deployment is crucial.

, , assists you with learning about AVS ideas, identifying AVS prerequisites, planning for the initial deployment, creating the first AVS private cloud, and connecting an on-premises data center to the AVS software-defined data center (SDDC).

, , teaches you how to deploy and configure HCX Advanced in your on-premises vCenter.

, , guides you on how to configure NSX-T network segments using NSX-T Manager or the Azure portal after a successful AVS private cloud deployment. The segments are logical switches that your AVS workloads require.

, , discusses how to connect to the internet via a Virtual WAN, given that utilizing VMware’s SDDC in conjunction with the Azure cloud ecosystem necessitates a distinct set of architectural considerations for cloud-native and hybrid situations.

, , details how, when migrating to AVS, customers may want to preserve operational continuity with their existing third-party networking and security solutions. The communication mechanism has nothing to do with the NSX-T service insertion/network introspection certification process for vSphere or AVS, and third-party platforms may include products from Cisco, Juniper, or Palo Alto Networks.

, , walks you through the process of deploying an Azure NetApp Files share and adding it to your datastore because every firm must understand the choices for expanding the datastore in AVS.

, , outlines the process of configuring Site Recovery Manager (SRM) between two AVS private clouds. VMware SRM enables you to plan, test, and execute the recovery of VMs between a protected and a recovery vCenter Server site.

, , demonstrates some best practices for managing your AVS environment. AVS is a VMware-validated solution that is subjected to ongoing verification and testing in order to ensure compatibility with vSphere enhancements and upgrades.

, , clarifies how to leverage governance for your AVS environment using a unified security and compliance approach.

, , concludes the book by pointing out some of the key topics that we walked through in the earlier chapters.
