Summary
In this chapter, we have learned about AWS Cloud, hybrid cloud challenges, and how VMware Cloud on AWS solves these challenges. We have described the different use cases that VMware Cloud on AWS addresses and described the architecture of VMware Cloud’s main components, including CSP, VMware Cloud console, vCenter, vSAN, and NSX. We also looked at the different cluster types, underlying hosts, and high-level networking architecture.
NSX and networking are essential and extensive topics; therefore, we have decided to dedicate the following chapter to describe the unique NSX architecture in VMware Cloud on AWS, including the security and firewall architecture, security capabilities such as micro-segmentation, IPS/IDS, networking capabilities such as routing, VPN, and native AWS integrations in detail.
In the next chapter, you will discover the best practices on how to implement networking and security in VMware Cloud on AWS.
