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.

Configuring DNS for AVS

vCenter Server and other AVS administration components can only resolve name records accessible via public DNS by default. Certain hybrid use cases – customer-managed systems such as vCenter Server and Active Directory – need AVS administration components to resolve name records from privately hosted DNS to work effectively.

Through the NSX-T Manager DNS service, you can build conditional forwarding rules for the required domain name to a specified set of private DNS servers using Private DNS for AVS administration components.

You’ll get a DNS service and a default DNS zone in the AVS deployment. You must establish an FQDN zone and apply it to the NSX-T Manager DNS Service to allow AVS management components to resolve records from your private DNS systems. DNS requests for each zone are conditionally forwarded by the DNS Service depending on the external DNS servers configured in that zone. The DNS Forwarder Service in NSX-T Manager...
