Avoiding common pitfalls
In the previous section, we were focused on how to do things right. However, it’s also important to highlight the most common scenarios, configurations, and design decisions where a resulting configuration proved to be ineffective and error-prone.
Compute
Compute resources provide the necessary CPU and memory resources for virtual machines. Let’s review the most common misconfigurations and/or suboptimal design choices:
- Sizing
It’s often the case that VMware Cloud on AWS SDDCs are either undersized or oversized. Undersized environments lead to low performance and a bad user experience, while oversized environments are expensive in terms of cost per VM. Opting for a right-sizing exercise and expanding on-premises vSphere environments as an afterthought may result in running into extended procurement cycles. However VMware Cloud on AWS benefits from the flexible and elastic capacity of public clouds. Paired with the right Elastic...
