VMware Cloud on AWS customers have requirements to interconnect their SDDCs across different AWS regions, but existing network design patterns require you to build a full-mesh topology with static routing to provide multi-region connectivity for SDDCs. Learn how AWS Cloud WAN helps address VMware Cloud on AWS multi-region connectivity challenges and requirements, and review a reference architecture with a real example for integrating VMware Cloud on AWS with AWS Cloud WAN.

In on-premises data centers, VMware virtualization and NetApp ONTAP storage are widely adopted solutions. The release of Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP and support for VMware Cloud on AWS give customers a new option for disaster recovery. Learn how these solutions allow for virtual machine data to be copied from an on-premises environment to AWS using NetApp SnapMirror. Once in AWS, the VMs can be imported into vCenter in a VMware Cloud on AWS environment used as a DR destination.

Over the past couple of years, enterprises have increasingly started to adopt containers to increase IT agility. Often, Kubernetes is being used as the platform to power these efforts. Managing traditional Kubernetes clusters can be difficult and require a lot of time and know-how to set up and operate, especially at scale. Hear from AWS Ambassador Jarosław Grząbel, a cloud architect at SoftServe, how to run Kubernetes in an enterprise IT environment.

Federated learning (FL) addresses the need of preserving privacy while having access to large datasets for machine learning model training. The NVIDIA FLARE (which stands for Federated Learning Application Runtime Environment) platform provides an open-source Python SDK for collaborative computation and offers privacy-preserving FL workflows at scale. NVIDIA is an AWS Competency Partner that has pioneered accelerated computing to tackle challenges in AI and computer graphics.

As you consider migrating to VMware Cloud on AWS or have already done so, you could have the requirement to protect web servers residing in a vSphere environment on the AWS global infrastructure. To provide one aspect of security for these workloads, you can leverage the AWS WAF, a web application firewall that helps protect your apps or APIs against common web exploits and bots. AWS WAF provides scanning of designated HTTP/HTTPS traffic to protect against various attacks.

From exciting announcements to insightful sessions, this post recaps what you may have missed at VMware Explore US 2022. This year, we marked the fifth year of the jointly-engineered VMware Cloud on AWS solution. Since announcing our strategic partnership in 2016, followed by the general availability of this unique managed offering at VMworld 2017, the VMware Cloud on AWS solution has evolved and continues to help customers globally migrate and modernize their VMware workloads to the cloud.

As customers adopt VMware Cloud on AWS, it’s important to provide scalable and reliable hybrid connectivity to help integrate SDDCs with on-premises and cloud-native services. VMware Cloud on AWS customers have additional network security requirements including network encryption, firewall integration, and traffic segmentation. Learn about hybrid network design patterns and considerations, and go through various network architecture design options and use cases addressing customer requirements.
