Frequently Asked Questions about azure-vmware-solution

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
What is Azure VMware Solution architecture and when do I need it?▼

Azure VMware Solution (AVS) architecture integrates vSphere clusters natively on Azure bare-metal infrastructure. You need AVS when migrating on-premises VMware workloads to the cloud without refactoring applications or changing existing operational tools.

How do I troubleshoot Azure VMware Solution connectivity and deployment issues?▼

Troubleshooting Azure VMware Solution connectivity involves validating ExpressRoute circuit peering, checking NSX-T Tier-0 gateway BGP status, and verifying managed DNS resolution. Deployment failures often require reviewing address block overlaps and core network quota availability in the Azure portal.

What are the best practices for Azure VMware Solution security configuration?▼

Best practices for Azure VMware Solution security include implementing NSX-T distributed firewall rules, configuring vCenter Server role-based access controls, and enabling Azure Defender for Cloud monitoring. Isolating AVS subnets using Azure Virtual Network peering and ExpressRoute encryption further secures cross-domain traffic.

Can I integrate Azure VMware Solution with external subscriptions and storage?▼

Azure VMware Solution supports integration with external Azure subscriptions for managing connected resources and backup targets. You can attach Azure NetApp Files datastores and configure Azure Blob Storage for tiering, expanding AVS capacity beyond the native vSAN limits.

What is the best way to design disaster recovery for Azure VMware Solution?▼

Designing disaster recovery for Azure VMware Solution requires evaluating AVS stretch clusters across availability zones for local redundancy. For regional protection, configure site recovery using Azure Site Recovery or Zerto to replicate VMs between primary and secondary AVS private clouds.

Why is my Azure VMware Solution cross-domain deployment failing or performing poorly?▼

Azure VMware Solution cross-domain deployments fail or underperform due to misconfigured ExpressRoute Global Reach routing or insufficient gateway SKU bandwidth. Check NSX-T edge cluster scaling limits and verify that Azure Virtual Network Gateway metrics do not exceed sustained throughput thresholds.
