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.

Leveraging Governance for Azure VMware Solution

AVS is a VMware-powered Azure first-party solution that provides vSphere clusters in a single-tenant private cloud environment. Users and apps may access it via on-premises vSphere solutions as well as Azure-based environments or resources. In Azure, the VMware technology stack uses a highly secure collection of computing, storage, and networking technologies.

An ExpressRoute circuit is not required but highly recommended to connect to Azure Cloud Services through a dedicated private and redundant Layer 3 network fiber connection with bandwidth up to 100 Gbps. You can connect your AVS environment to your Azure-native environment to consume the other Azure-native services and solutions.

All provisioned private clouds include vCenter Server, ESXi, vSAN, and NSX-T Data Center, allowing you to migrate your workloads from on-premises vSphere infrastructures, deploy new virtual machines (VMs), and consume Azure services.
