Egress/Ingress natively from Azure VMware Solution via NSX-T or an NVA This option enables Azure VMware Solution private cloud to directly consume and apply public network addresses in NSX-T Data Center for various connections: Outbound SNAT Inbound DNAT Load balancing using VMware NSX Advanced Load Balancer and other third-party Network Virtual Appliances. Terminate VPN connections directly in NSX.
Azure VMware Solution with vWAN Routing Intent and Palo Alto Cloud NGFW
In this article, you will learn how Virtual WAN with Routing Intent works with the Palo Alto SaaS firewall to connect and route traffic between different networks. You will see how this applies to an Azure VMware Solution private cloud, on-premises sites, and Azure native networks. This article does not cover how to set up or configure Virtual WAN with Routing Intent and Palo Alto SaaS.Lightbits for Azure VMware Solution
As users of Azure VMware Solution, we most likely will come across a time where we need to add storage and not necessarily need more compute from an additional host. Lightbits is another option in the Azure Marketplace to add storage that will scale and run storage intensive apps.Network Design Guide for Azure VMware Solution
I have previously talked about Azure VMware Solution Landing Zone Accelerator (AVS LZ) and the automation tools in my previous blog post. This open-source solution provides an architectural approach and reference implementation to prepare Azure landing zone subscriptions for a scalable Azure VMware Solution. We have received feedback from many of you that there are a lot of decisions and important choices to make when designing your Azure VMware Solution deployment. We are bringing you new additions as part of the AVS LZ which is an Azure VMware Solution Landing Zone Accelerator Network Design Guide. Using this guide will walk you through the networking options and what may be best for your organization. Because each decision, impacts the next it is imperative to look at all the networking choices and what fits your needs. This recommended approach aligns with the Azure Landing Zone reference architecture.
Azure VMware Solution (AVS) for VMware Admins Primer
It’s funny to think there was such a pushback on virtualization when it first came out versus being the norm for most of us now. As a VMware admin myself, I remember all the discussion with application teams trying to convince them we could run their application on a virtual machine. Informing people that a vMotion would not impact the uptime and could potentially optimize performance on another ESXi host with more resources free, or how HA (High Availability) being built in results in a simple reboot with minimal downtime to the virtual machine and application.
