Today we announce the general availability of Amazon Elastic VMware Service (Amazon EVS), the new AWS services that allows you to operate the VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) directly in your Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC). With Amazon EVS, you can deploy a fully functional VCF assumption in just hours using a workflow wizard while launching the VMware workload on a qualified Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) Bare Metal Instances and smoothly with AWS Services like Amazon FSX Pro NetAP
Many VMware workloads in the premises want to move to the cloud to benefit from improved scalabibility, teleability and access to cloud services, but the migration of these workloads often requires considerable changes in applications and infrastructure configurations. Amazon EVS allows customers to continue using their existing professional knowledge and VMware tools without having to rework applications or changing the established procedures, making it easier to provide access to AWS, seriousness and wide set of services.
With Amazon EVS, you can run the VMware workload directly in your Amazon VPC. This gives you full control of your surroundings during AWS infrastructure. You can expand your local networks and migrate workload without changing IP addresses or operating runbooks, reducing complexity and risk.
Key skills and functions
Amazon EVS brings an understanding of a set of capacities designed to streamline your experience with migration and management of VMware. The service allows trouble -free migration of workload without having to replicate or change hypervisors, which means that you can keep your current investment in infrastructure when moving to AWS. You can effectively provide and configure your EVS EVOLS through an intuitive, workflow wizard on AWS Management Console, which will significantly reduce the complexity and migrate your work on AWS.
With Amazon EVS, you can put the fully functional VCF on AWS in a few hours. This process eliminates many manual steps and potential configuration errors that often occur during traditional deployment. In addition, with Amazon EV you can optimize your AWS virtualization magazine. Since the VCF is running inside your VPC, you have a full administrative approach to the environment and related administrative appliances. You also have the ability to integrate third -party solutions, from external storage, such as Amazon FSX for Netap Pure Pure Cloud Block or Backup, such as Backup and Veeam.
The service also gives you the possibility of self -government or cooperation with AWS partners to build, manage and operate your environment. This gives you flexibility to match your approach with your overall goals.
Setting the new VCF environment
Organizations can make the setting process more efficient by having all the preliminary conditions on the spot before creating a new VCF environment. These assumptions include active AWS accounts, configurations for identity management and AWS (IAM), and Amazon VPC settings with sufficient CIDR and two server endpoints, each with its own peer. In addition, customers will have to have the VMware Cloud Foundation license keys, ensure Amazon EC2 reservation specifically for i4I.Metal instances and prepare your planning by VLAN.
To ensure smooth processes, we are provided and We start mushroomsWhat you have access from the EVS home page and also a guide to understanding in our documentation. By following these steps of preparation, you can have a potential delay in settings and ensure a successful environment.
Let’s go through the process of setting the new VCF environment using Amazon EVS.
You will need to provide your site ID, which is assigned by Broadcom together with license keys when purchasing VCF licenses. If you want to ensure a successful initial commitment, you should verify that you have sufficient licenses for at least 256 cores. This is translated into the least instances of the i4i oven, with each instance providing 64 physical cores.
This license requires you to help you optimal performance and ensure that your environment meets the necessary infrastructure specialty. Confirming these requirements in advance, you can have a potential delay in deployment and ensure a smooth setting process.
Once you provide all the required data, you will be a challenge for specific host data. These are the basic instances of Amazon EC2 in which your VC environment will be deployed.
When you have details for girls for each host instance, you will need to configure DNS details for network and management of your device. For more information on how to create a new VCF environment on Amazon EVS can be found here.
After you have created your VC environment, you will look at all the details of the host and configuration through the AWS console.
Other things to know
Amazon EVS currently supports VCF version 5.2.1 and runs on instances i4i.Metal. Future reading will expand VCF versions, licenses and other instances support that provides and more existence for your deployment.
Amazon EVS provides flexible storage options. Your local Amazon EVS instance is powered by VMware VSAN that connects local disks across several ESXI hosts into a single distributed data storage. To a storage scale, you can use an external network file system (NFS) or ISCSI based on storage solutions. For example, Amazon FSX for NetApp ontap is particularly suitable for use as NFS data storage or shared block storage over ISCSI.
In addition, the Amazon EVS allows you to connect your on-Drémises around a simple. From the on-premises VSPhere, you can connect to the Amazon EVS using a direct connection or VPN connection that ends in the transit gate. Amazon EVS also managers Basic connectivity from your VLAN to your VM.
AWS provides interest in supporting all AWS deployed Amazon EVS, processing direct customer support while working with advanced support needs. Customers must cost AWS business support to operate the service.
Availability and Price
Amazon EVS is now generally available on US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), US West (Oregon), Europe (Frankfurt), Europe (Ireland) and Asia Pacific (Tokyo) AWS regions, and soon more regions come. Prices are based on Amazon EC2 and AWS sources you use, without minimal fees or obligations in advance.
