VMware Cross-Cloud Architecture

By: Ajit Pratap Kundan

Overview of this book

Over the past two decades, VMware vSphere has been known as the most trusted and reliable virtualization platform. VMware Cross-Cloud Architecture shows you how to design and configure Cross Cloud Architecture by using VMware Cloud Foundation and vRealize Suite with various use cases across private, public, and hybrid Cloud. This book takes you through everything from a basic understanding of virtualization to advanced aspects of storage and network virtualization, clustering, automation, and management. This book will be your guide to designing all aspects of Cloud. We start with the challenges faced by a traditional data center, define problem statements for you, and then brief you on respective solutions. Moving on, all kinds of virtualization and Cloud offerings from AWS and IBM Soft Layer are introduced and discussed in detail. Then, you'll learn how to design IT infrastructures for new and existing applications with a combination of Cloud Foundation, vRealize Suite, and vSphere enabled with VSAN and NSX. Furthermore, you'll learn how to design and configure high availability, disaster recovery, and apply an appropriate compliance matrix. Toward the end of the book, you will learn how to calculate the TCO/ROI, along with the VMware products packaging and licensing in detail.

Introduction to DevOps and its benefits


Development and operations(DevOps) is a culture, movement, or practice that emphasizes the collaboration and communication of both software developers and other information-technology (IT) professionals while automating the process of software delivery and infrastructure changes. DevOps implementations use automation to accelerate IT service delivery and create a common platform of systems and processes to build, test, and run new software applications. DevOps initiatives remove the silos between various teams in the software development life cycle.

DevOps helps to deploy code more frequently and with minimum failures, which speeds up time to market for new and updated software applications and functionality, as per the business objectives of customers.

Building a data center architecture based on the SDDC with automated application provisioning transforms customer data centers for a DevOps-ready IT team.

The code stream delivers a complete application...
