VMware Cloud on AWS NSX configuration overview
VMWare Cloud for AWS leverages VMware NSX functionality for network communication and security.
VMware Cloud on AWS utilizes NSX capabilities to create a logical network overlay on top of AWS VPC and SDDC constructs. It provides all switching, routing, and security services (including a firewall service with Micro-segmentation for ingress/egress traffic) required for the customer environment.
NSX has two layers of routing. One layer is the Tier-0 Edge Router, which serves as a North/South gateway to the traffic flowing in and out of the SDDC.
The second layer consists of the Tier-1 Gateways: the Management Gateway (MGW) and the Compute Gateway (CGW), which serve as North/South gateways to the SDDC networks. The management networks served by the MGW are used exclusively for the SDDC infrastructure management components. The default CGW acts as a default router for all networks used by the customer workloads.
