Zorluk: OrtaHybrid and VMware Cloud on AWS Migrations

A company is planning to migrate 50 VMware-based application virtual machines (VMs) from an on-premises data center to VMware Cloud on AWS. The application VMs are highly sensitive to IP address changes, and the company requires that all VMs retain their original IP addresses after migration. Additionally, the migration must be completed with near-zero downtime for the applications. The WAN connectivity between the on-premises environment and AWS has limited bandwidth. Which of the following VMware HCX features or migration methods should the Solutions Architect select to meet these requirements? (Select TWO.)

  1. VMware HCX Replication-Assisted vMotion (RAV) to replicate VM disks in the background and perform a live switchover.Cevap
  2. VMware HCX Network Extension to stretch the Layer 2 network from the on-premises data center to the VMware Cloud on AWS SDDC.Cevap
  3. C
    VMware HCX Cold Migration to migrate active virtual machines without interrupting user traffic.
  4. D
    AWS Direct Connect Gateway with public virtual interfaces to establish a native Layer 2 broadcast domain across the hybrid link.
  5. E
    AWS Transit Gateway with Route 53 Private Hosted Zones configured to dynamically re-point DNS records to new subnet segments.

Cevap

Select VMware HCX Replication-Assisted vMotion (RAV) and VMware HCX Network Extension.
To preserve VM IP addresses, the Layer 2 network must be stretched to AWS using VMware HCX Network Extension. To complete the migration with near-zero downtime while using limited WAN bandwidth, VMware HCX Replication-Assisted vMotion (RAV) is selected because it replicates data asynchronously in the background and executes a hot vMotion cutover.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Evaluate the downtime requirement.
Identify that to achieve near-zero downtime, a live migration mechanism is required.
Cold migration introduces downtime, while RAV supports live switchover with background replication.
2
Evaluate the IP retention requirement.
Determine that the Layer 2 network must be extended from the on-premises environment to AWS.
VMware HCX Network Extension stretches the Layer 2 network, allowing the VMs to retain their original IP and MAC addresses without IP re-routing.

Anahtar Kavram

VMware HCX provides Replication-Assisted vMotion (RAV) and Network Extension capabilities to migrate VMware workloads to VMware Cloud on AWS with minimal downtime and without changing VM IP addresses.
