Cloud Field Day 10: VMware Cloud on AWS delivering resilient yet cost effective infrastructure platform for modern applications – VMware Cloud Community

VMware Cloud on AWS has been helping customers with their cloud migration journey for the past 3+ years. It delivers a seamlessly integrated hybrid cloud solution that extends on-premises vSphere environments to a VMware SDDC running on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) elastic, bare-metal infrastructure that is fully integrated as part of AWS. And once in the cloud, customers can start their modernization journey with minimal disruption to their business.

In the past Cloud Field Day events, VMware experts have discussed technical deep dives around cloud migration, hybrid cloud operations, Disaster Recovery as a Service solutions, Virtual Desktop Infrastructure, Networking and Storage in VMware Cloud on AWS, integration with native AWS services and much more. In case if you missed these interesting sessions, you can find out those sessions available on-demand on the links below:

Now, we are coming up with Cloud field Day 10 scheduled on 3/11: 1 PM to 3 PM PT. And this time, VMware experts are going to present technical sessions on how VMware Cloud on AWS provides resilient yet cost-effective platform for modern applications and how it compares with other public cloud alternatives.

The agenda for Cloud Field Day 10 is as follows:

1. Building a better Developer Experience for VMware Cloud on AWS:

          3/11: 1 PM PT

VMware is in the midst of a major transformation that will improve the way customers use and learn about automating and extending the VMware Cloud platform.  A new public developer portal with concise API documentation and an internal emphasis on consistency, completeness, and test coverage is enabling the transition.  Bringing together standards such as OpenAPI, as well as integration with native package repositories for popular languages, will enable teams to integrate VMware  Cloud automation with their other infrastructure-as-code initiatives.

2. Understanding the Economics of VMware Cloud on AWS versus Native Public Cloud

          3/11: 1:30 PM PT

There are significant migration hurdles and hidden costs in delivering enterprise applications from a native public cloud. This session will identify and evaluate the real  cost and impact of these factors and illustrate how VMware Cloud on AWS can mitigate these costs.

3. Resilient Infrastructure Simplifies High Availability for CloudApplications

          3/11: 2:00 PM PT

When customers deploy to VMware Cloud on AWS, they are free to focus valuable resources on their business applications instead of infrastructure management. Availability and resiliency are designed into the Software-defined Data Center service and the underlying AWS global cloud infrastructure. In this session, you will see how elements of the physical and virtual infrastructure architecture maximize application uptime by protecting against failures in any aspect of the stack.
