VM management involves a detailed understanding of VM lifecycle management and the VM configuration: VM configuration A VM first created in an on-premises environment might have a number of virtual devices or advanced configuration settings, and no or limited support on VMware Cloud on AWS. VMs...
Memory compute resources are required for all VMs to be able to execute the application workload. Memory management with VMware Cloud on an AWS SDDC is not very different from on-premises, with just a couple of best practices to follow: Do not overcommit host memory for your production application...
Once design decisions are approved, you will move on to creating a logical design for the infrastructure, including compute, storage, networking, operations, and other additional components of your design. Your logical design must follow the design decisions. For example, let’s map the following...
While HCX design and deployment could easily be a topic for a separate book, let’s point out the most important design decisions to make: Consider using AWS DX for migration traffic. You must configure the HCX Service Mesh on the cloud side to use DX. By default, HCX uplinks are mapped to public...
Upon completion of the discovery workshop, you will move on to creating the design and architecture for VMware Cloud on AWS. The main goal of your design is to map business and technical requirements into product capabilities, taking constraints and assumptions into account, and mitigating risks...
The level of detail of your physical design must be sufficient to create configuration workbooks, including the following: The detailed set of network parameters for VPN connections BGP details per connection, neighbor configuration, and so on Mapping of resource thresholds to custom eDRS policies...
We do not recommend using the vNVMe controller due to known performance issues. In general, you achieve better throughput with lower CPU utilization using the PVSCI controller type. Object space reservation It’s often recommended to set the advanced setting for Object Space Reservation (OSR)...
The maximum number of vCPUs per VM is the configuration for a single VM. You can assign more vCPUs than a host has for different VMs (CPU overcommitment). This configuration might have performance issues. When migrating from on-premises, make sure that you are within the specified limit. You must...
Knowing the Best Practices, FAQs, and Common Pitfalls Incorporating a new service into the enterprise infrastructure landscape is not easy. A lot of factors must be considered to make the project a success. In this chapter, you will learn how to make the adoption of VMware Cloud on AWS as smooth...
VMC on AWS Outposts offers several node configurations starting with a minimum of three-node configuration (with one additional dark capacity node) to a maximum of nine nodes (with one additional dark capacity node). The dark capacity is used as an auto-remediation task in case of host failures....
