Overview of this book

If you’re looking to effortlessly transition from on-premises VMware vSphere environments or capital expenditure (CAPEX) to an agile operational expenditure (OPEX) model, trust the VMware Cloud (VMC) on AWS platform for swift re-platforming of legacy applications into cloud-native framework. This comprehensive guide addresses hybrid cloud challenges, offering detailed solutions within the VMware Cloud on AWS ecosystem. Covering the foundational architecture, software-defined data center (SDDC) components of VMware Cloud on AWS, network and security configurations, and AWS service integrations, this book lays the foundation for you to advance to vCenter management, vSAN storage policies, NSX architecture, compute policies, SDDC console management, and the EDRS mechanism for cluster scaling. You’ll also explore integrated services such as VMware HCX for migration, VMware Aria suite, Tanzu Managed Kubernetes, and disaster recovery. Further, the book takes you through VMware Cloud APIs and guides you in managing workloads with VMware Cloud on AWS Outposts. With the help of practical insights, configuration tips, and best practices, you’ll unlock the full potential of VMC on AWS. By the end of this book, you’ll be equipped to successfully architect and manage VMware Cloud on AWS SDDCs, handling day-to-day operations expertly.

Cloud Services Platform APIs

The Cloud Services Platform (CSP) APIs provide customers with a programmatic method to access and manage the capabilities provided by VMware. When working with VMware’s cloud services, such as VMC on AWS, the CSP APIs enable customers to automate and manage their cloud environments with greater efficiency. The CSP APIs are the primary mechanism for authentication and user management for VMC on AWS. These APIs provide an authentication endpoint that allows users to access VMC on AWS services. Once authenticated, users are issued an authorization token to be able to access the CSP and VMC on AWS APIs. Furthermore, the CSP APIs offer functionality within the VMware Cloud console for managing users and organizations, including displaying, adding, and removing users. Additionally, CSP APIs include methods for managing permissions, roles, and policies for both organizations and users in VMC on AWS.
