Customer responsibility “Security in the Cloud” – Customers are responsible for the deployment and ongoing configuration of their SDDC, virtual machines, and data that reside therein. In addition to determining the network firewall and VPN configuration, customers are responsible for managing virtual machines (including in guest security and encryption) and using VMware Cloud on AWS User Roles and Permissions along with vCenter Roles and Permissions to apply the appropriate controls for users.

The responsibility for the encryption of virtual machines in VMware Cloud lies with the customer. The customer is responsible for configuring and managing any encryption or security related settings and configurations in the virtual machines, such as disk encryption or the configuration of security protocols. The VMware Cloud Provider Partner (VCPP) is responsible for the overall security of the cloud environment [1][2], including the encryption of data at rest, but the customer is responsible for configuring and managing the encryption settings within their virtual machines.

Port mirroring is a VMware Cloud tool that an administrator can use to forward all the monitored traffic to a network appliance for analysis and remediation. The network appliance can then analyze the mirrored traffic and take the appropriate remedial action. Port mirroring can also be used to identify and troubleshoot network issues, as well as monitor network activities.

Port mirroring lets you replicate and redirect all of the traffic coming from a source. The mirrored traffic is sent encapsulated within a Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) tunnel to a collector so that all of the original packet information is preserved while traversing the network to a remote destination.

Port mirroring is used in the following scenarios:

• Troubleshooting - Analyze the traffic to detect intrusion and debug and diagnose errors on a network.
• Compliance and monitoring - Forward all of the monitored traffic to a network appliance for analysis and remediation.

Port mirroring includes a source group where the data is monitored and a destination group where the collected data is copied to. The source group membership criteria require VMs to be grouped based on the workload such as web group or application group. The destination group membership criteria require VMs to be grouped based on IP addresses. Port mirroring has one enforcement point, where you can apply policy rules to your SDDC environment.

The traffic direction for port mirroring is Ingress, Egress, or Bi Directional traffic:

• Ingress is the outbound network traffic from the VM to the logical network.
• Egress is the inbound network traffic from the logical network to the VM.
• Bi Directional is the traffic from the VM to the logical network and from the logical network to the VM. This is the default option.

To deploy an instance of Azure VMware Solutions, an administrator must take the following two steps:

• Create a support request with Microsoft Azure Support to create a host quota. This is required because Azure VMware Solution hosts are dedicated bare-metal servers that are not shared with other customers1. The host quota determines the number and size of hosts that can be provisioned in a subscription1. The host quota can be requested for an eligible Azure plan, such as Microsoft Enterprise Agreement or Cloud Solution Provider2.
• Deploy and configure Microsoft Azure ExpressRoute. This is required because Azure VMware Solution uses ExpressRoute to connect the private cloud to the Azure virtual network and the on-premises network3. ExpressRoute provides a secure, high-bandwidth, and low-latency connection that enables seamless workload migration and hybrid cloud scenarios3. The administrator must deploy and configure an ExpressRoute circuit, a virtual network gateway, and a virtual network3. References: 1: Deploy and configure Azure VMware Solution, 2: Plan the Azure VMware Solution deployment, 3: Tutorial: Deploy an Azure VMware Solution private cloud

When deploying VMware Cloud on Dell EMC or VMware Cloud on AWS Outposts, the Dell or AWS guys will bring a populated rack to the on-prem DC to extend the private cloud. They will bring technisians on-site to carry, install and configure the devices. AWS Outposts rack hardware specs: &loc=4
