So now let's talk about VMware Cloud on AWS.
So here's some context.
When you have an on-premises data center,
sometimes you would use the VMware Cloud
to manage your own on-premise data center.
So you have your vSphere-based environment
and your VMs all managed from VMware Cloud.
And consumers who have their own data center with VMware,
they want to extend their data center capacity
to also leverage the cloud and in particular,
they want to leverage AWS.
But they want to keep on managing everything,
their own data center and the cloud,
using the VMware Cloud software.
So this is the idea behind VMware Cloud on AWS.
Thanks to it you can extend
your entire VMware Cloud infrastructure to also be on AWS
and run vSphere, vSAN, NSX, and so on,
which you don't have to know
but they are VMware sub-services.
So once you have this, what are the use cases?
Well, the first thing is that now you can
extend computing power from data center to the cloud
or storage from the data center to the cloud,
and therefore you can start migrating
your VMware-based workloads to AWS.
You can also run your production workloads
across multiple data centers, and you can choose between
private, public, or hybrid cloud environments.
And finally, it gives you a disaster recovery strategy
because now you can quickly go to the cloud
using the same suite of software that you know.
And because that now you are on the AWS cloud
you can actually access the different AWS services
and start leveraging them such as Amazon EC2,
Amazon FSx, S3, RDS,
Direct Connect, Redshift, and so on.
So that's it.
It's just a high level overview that you need to know.
I hope you liked it, and I will see you in the next lecture.
