Network and connectivity topology for AVS
As mentioned in the previous chapter, for both cloud-native and hybrid scenarios, implementing a VMware software-defined data center (SDDC) with the Azure cloud ecosystem has some unique design challenges to think about when planning for your deployment.
Some of the challenges we talked about in the previous chapter are as follows:
- Hybrid connectivity
- Reliability and performance
- A zero-trust network security model
- Extensibility
We will now look at the different networking components and concepts used to create the different connectivity medians for AVS:
- Azure Virtual Network (VNet): This is the building block for your private networks in Azure. When you set up a virtual network, it looks and works like a traditional network running in your own data center. However, it has the benefits of the Azure infrastructure, such as scale, availability, and isolation. When you use Azure VNet, many types of Azure resources...
