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.

Summary

In this chapter, we looked at how you can use an NVA (located in your Azure native environment) to inspect all traffic to and from the internet to AVS. We used the Quagga NVA in this chapter for traffic inspection, but you can use any third-party NVA.

You learned how to do the following:

  • Integrate AVS with your Azure environment while utilizing your existing security solutions. This seamless approach works without introducing new solutions or technologies that are intended to protect your AVS environment.
  • Deploy and configure an Azure Route Server, which is used to redirect traffic between your existing ExpressRoute Gateway and your virtual network appliance.
  • Deploy and configure a Quagga NVA to integrate with your ExpressRoute Gateway and the Azure Route Server.
  • View the learned routes on the Quagga NVA and the Azure Route Server.

In the next chapter, we will learn how to add additional storage to the AVS data store without adding additional nodes...
