Management and monitoring
When planning a public cloud solution, management and monitoring should be integral parts of your design construct, and AVS should be no exception.
Creating an AVS with optimum management and monitoring capabilities will help you get the best out of the solution.
Look at the following tips for managing and monitoring your AVS platform:
- Keep track of the metrics that matter most to your operations teams and make alerts and dashboards that show them.
- vSAN storage space is limited, so you need to keep an eye on vSAN capacity. When you use vSAN storage, only use it for guest VM workloads. VMware requires you to have a minimum of 75 percent free space on the vSAN to maintain the SLA. It is also recommended that you use Azure Blob Storage to store your backups instead of using vSAN storage.
- A local identity provider is used by AVS. After you set up AVS, use a single administrative user account for the first configurations. Active Directory integration is highly recommended, since it provides a way to track the actions of each user.
