Overview of this book

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.

Internet consideration design options for AVS

There are many ways to create a default route in Azure and deliver it to your AVS environment. See the following choices:

  • A third-party NVA in a native Azure virtual network coupled with an Azure Route Server
  • A vWAN hub with an Azure firewall
  • A default route from the customer on-premises environment transferred to AVS over Global Reach
  • A third-party NVA in a vWAN hub-and-spoke Virtual Network configuration

Any of these patterns may be used to provide an outbound SNAT service, giving you the ability to choose which sources are permitted to leave the network, to see connection records, and, for certain services, to do further traffic inspection.

The same service can use an Azure Public IP and generate an incoming Destination Network Address Translation (DNAT) that points to targets in AVS.

It is also possible to create a system that uses many routes for internet traffic – one for incoming DNAT and another...
