https://blogs.vmware.com/cloud/2019/07/02/dhcp-dhcp-relay-vmware-cloud-aws/

To create a new network segment in the software-defined data center that utilizes the corporate DHCP server to provide IP addresses, the proper sequence is to create a DHCP relay profile, create a new segment attached to the Tier-1 gateway, and configure the segment DHCP config to utilize the new DHCP relay profile1. This is because the DHCP relay profile contains the IP address of the external DHCP server and the DHCP relay agent that forwards the DHCP requests and responses between the segment and the DHCP server1. The segment must be attached to the Tier-1 gateway, which is the edge device that provides routing and firewall services for the segment2. The segment DHCP config allows the administrator to specify the DHCP type, the DHCP relay profile, and the DHCP options for the segment3. References: 1: Configure Segment DHCP Properties - VMware Docs, 2: Create or Modify a Network Segment - VMware Docs, 3: Segment DHCP Config - VMware Docs

When deploying VMware Cloud on Dell EMC or VMware Cloud on AWS Outposts, the Dell or AWS guys will bring a populated rack to the on-prem DC to extend the private cloud. They will bring technisians on-site to carry, install and configure the devices. AWS Outposts rack hardware specs: https://aws.amazon.com/outposts/rack/hardware-specs/?nc=sn &loc=4 https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Cloud-on-Dell-EMC/services/vmc.dell.emc.datasheet/GUID-9252D1FC-FE9C-4317-8EEB-4C019A21CAA9.html

VMware Cloud on AWS is a managed service, and VMware handles the updates and patches to the infrastructure. When VMware notifies customers of upcoming maintenance or updates, it is usually for informational purposes, so the customer is aware. Unless there's a specific action item mentioned in the notification (which would be unusual), no action is required from the customer's end.

Upgrades for VMware Cloud on AWS SDDCs are deployed in a rollout across the service. When an upgrade rollout is available for your organization, you receive an email notification and a notification in the VMware Cloud Console. Typically, you receive this notification 30 to 60 days before upgrades begin for a rollout. After you receive the notification, you can submit a scheduling request for any of your SDDCs. So respond is required for initial schedule. If you receive the notification 7 days before start, this means you already responded to the proposed date and agree on it. https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Cloud-on-AWS/services/com.vmware.vmc-aws-operations/GUID-EE89B216-BE93-4A1A-9280-8F20E2A5266F.html https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Cloud-on-AWS/services/com.vmware.vmc-aws-operations/GUID-7725CAAC-BBDB-4F80-991F-1D1ADDE12216.html#GUID-7725CAAC-BBDB-4F80-991F-1D1ADDE12216

To allow HTTPS access to a specific VM through the public Internet for VMware Cloud on AWS, the administrator should take the following two steps:

• Request a public IP address in the VMware Cloud console. This is required because the VM needs a public IP address to be reachable from the Internet1. The administrator can request a public IP address from the Networking & Security tab in the VMware Cloud console1. The public IP address is allocated from the AWS pool and is associated with the SDDC1.
• Configure a DNAT rule translating a public IP address to an internal IP address. This is required because the VM has an internal IP address assigned by the SDDC DHCP server, and the DNAT rule maps the public IP address to the internal IP address of the VM2. The administrator can configure a DNAT rule from the Networking & Security tab in the VMware Cloud console2. The DNAT rule must specify the public IP address as the source, the internal IP address as the destination, and the HTTPS service (TCP 443) as the applied to2. References: 1: Request a Public IP Address - VMware Docs, 2: Configure NAT Rules - VMware Docs

Customer responsibility “Security in the Cloud” – Customers are responsible for the deployment and ongoing configuration of their SDDC, virtual machines, and data that reside therein. In addition to determining the network firewall and VPN configuration, customers are responsible for managing virtual machines (including in guest security and encryption) and using VMware Cloud on AWS User Roles and Permissions along with vCenter Roles and Permissions to apply the appropriate controls for users.

The responsibility for the encryption of virtual machines in VMware Cloud lies with the customer. The customer is responsible for configuring and managing any encryption or security related settings and configurations in the virtual machines, such as disk encryption or the configuration of security protocols. The VMware Cloud Provider Partner (VCPP) is responsible for the overall security of the cloud environment [1][2], including the encryption of data at rest, but the customer is responsible for configuring and managing the encryption settings within their virtual machines. Reference: https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Cloud-on-AWS/services/com.vmware.vmc-aws.encryption/GUID-6F6921CA-44D6-4D9D-B0C0-12C18A545B7C.html

Tanzu Kubernetes Grid is a service from VMware Cloud that enables customers to deploy and manage Kubernetes applications in the cloud. In order to deploy a namespace or their Kubernetes Application developments, an administrator must configure a Tanzu Kubernetes Cluster and a Management Cluster.

A Tanzu Kubernetes Cluster is a cluster of nodes that are used to run applications and services. The nodes are connected to the Management Cluster, where administrators can manage and monitor deployments.

The Management Cluster is a cluster of nodes that are used to manage and monitor the Tanzu Kubernetes Cluster nodes. It provides the tools to manage and monitor deployments, as well as to configure and maintain the Tanzu Kubernetes Cluster nodes.

According to VMware's official website, "Tanzu Kubernetes Grid is a service that provides a simplified way to deploy and manage Kubernetes applications in the cloud. It provides a single control plane for managing multiple Kubernetes clusters, allowing customers to easily deploy and manage their applications across multiple clusters and environments." [1]

A distributed switch is managed by vCenter Server for all ESXi hosts associated with the distributed switch. A standard switch is different from a distributed switch in that standard switches contain VMkernel ports, but the entire configuration is managed by each ESXi host. A distributed switch is managed by vCenter Server for all ESXi hosts associated with the distributed switch and can contain multiple VMkernel ports. Each ESXi host can have multiple distributed switches configured at any time.

Kubernetes is an open-source container orchestration system for automating application deployment, scaling, and management, which provides features such as self-healing, auto-scaling, and service discovery. With Kubernetes, cloud administrators are able to easily scale and manage containers across multiple clusters and nodes, allowing them to more effectively manage container-based applications. Additionally, Kubernetes provides advanced features such as container scheduling, resource management, and service discovery, which are all essential for managing container-based applications in a production environment.

The problem could be that the new password is not synchronized with the password that is displayed for the Default vCenter user account. The administrator must make sure that the same password is used in both the vSphere Client and the VMware Cloud console in order for the user to access the account. Changing the password in one place does not automatically change it in the other, so this must be done manually.

AWS Direct Connect is a service that establishes a dedicated network connection between an on-premises data center and an AWS region. This can improve network performance, reduce costs, and increase security for applications that require high bandwidth and low latency1.

A layer 2 VPN connection would not improve performance as it still relies on the public internet. VMware HCX is a service that simplifies workload migration and mobility between different clouds, but it does not address network performance issues. Contacting VMware support to request more bandwidth for IPSec VPN connection is unlikely to be effective as IPSec VPN has inherent limitations such as encryption overhead and packet fragmentation

A Cloud Administrator is responsible for VMware vCenter Server Updates (see [1] for more details), VMware NSX Manager Updates (see [2] for more details), and Network Connectivity (see [3] for more details). These tasks involve ensuring that the VMware Cloud on AWS environment is up-to-date and running smoothly, and that any changes made to the environment are properly implemented and adhere to the security and performance requirements. Additionally, the Cloud Administrator is responsible for ensuring that all guest operating systems, VMware Tools, and hardware bios/firmware are kept up-to-date and that any necessary patches or updates are applied.

According to the VMware official documentation, in order to optimize scaling for full disaster recovery in a VMware Cloud on AWS environment, it is necessary to configure an Elastic DRS policy and select 'Optimize for Rapid scale-out' as the policy type. This option allows for a rapid increase in the number of hosts within the cluster, which is necessary for full disaster recovery. For more information, please refer to the VMware Cloud on AWS Disaster Recovery Guide, which can be found here: https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Cloud-on-AWS/services/VMware-Cloud-on-AWS-Disaster-Recovery-Guide.html.

VMware HCX Network Extension is a layer-two bridging function initiated at the source site1. It allows customers to extend their on-premises networks to a VMware Cloud SDDC without changing the IP addresses of the virtual machines2. When extending a network, a corresponding NSX segment is created at the destination site1. The network segment type that HCX Network Extension creates in the VMware Cloud SDDC is Extended2. This means that the network is stretched across both sites and the routing is handled at the source site2. The Extended network segment type preserves the network identity and connectivity of the virtual machines that are migrated or created on the extended segment at the remote site2. References: 1: Extending Networks Using VMware HCX, 2: About VMware HCX Network Extension

Private L2 VPN: To migrate running VMs between SDDCs in different geographical locations.

You use a private layer 2 (L2) VPN to extend an on-premises network to your cloud SDDC. This extended network is a single subnet with a single broadcast domain.

You can use L2 VPNs to migrate VMs to and from your cloud SDDC, for disaster recovery, or for dynamic access to cloud computing resources (often called cloud bursting).

VM migrations across an L2 VPN support VLAN tagging and GENEVE frame encapsulation when migrating between a cloud SDDC to another SDDC.

The L2 VPN tunnel extends layer 2 networks across geographic sites. VMs can move across sites (using vSphere vMotion) and keep the same IP addresses using an L2 VPN.

The VMware solution that offers long-term immutable point-in-time recovery options is VMware Cloud Disaster Recovery (CDR). CDR offers continuous data protection and point-in-time recovery options with up to 30 days of retention. It also provides a secure and immutable copy of your data that is stored in the cloud and can be used to recover from ransomware attacks.

The two use cases that apply to NSX logical routing are A. You must provide external connectivity to VMs and containers, and B. Your organization must provide connectivity between VMs and containers that are connected to different segments. NSX logical routing allows you to provide external connectivity to VMs and containers, and to provide layer 3 connectivity between VMs and containers that are connected to different segments. It does not provide layer 2 connectivity between VMs and microservices or intrinsic security for VMs connected to different segments.

An extended network segment is required for a cloud administrator to create a virtual machine that requires layer 2 connectivity to an on-premises workload. Extended networks allow for the virtual machines to communicate directly with the on-premises workload while remaining isolated from the public cloud. This allows for the virtual machines to access the same services and workloads as the on-premises workloads while still remaining secure.
