Summary
This chapter focused on the prerequisites and steps needed to deploy and connect your AVS environment to Azure and your on-premises data center. Planning for your AVS deployment is critical, as it allows you to ensure that all the information you need will be ready before the actual deployment.
The key areas that were covered in this chapter were the following:
- Prerequisites to deploy AVS
- AVS deployment validation
- Connection validation to both Azure and on-premises
In the next chapter, we will be deploying and configuring HCX, which is needed for connectivity to your on-premises VMware environment. HCX is also needed for virtual machine migration between the on-premises VMware environment and AVS.
