SPEAKER 1: Cloud migration is top of mind
for many organizations today.
While moving to the cloud can be full of challenges,
the cloud offers many advantages around increased agility,
new and innovative services, and on-demand pricing
that traditional data centers don't offer.
So let's talk about one way to make migration easier--
hosting your applications in a native VM VMware environment
right in Google Cloud.
Google Cloud VMware Engine is built
to address the biggest issues that
prevent most workloads from moving to the cloud--
lack of resources and the cost of re-architecting apps.
With a Google Cloud VMware Engine,
you can migrate your apps with no changes to your processes
because you run your applications
on native VMware VMs in a dedicated and private SDDC.
This means you can use the same tools, processes, and policies
while still getting the advantages of being
in the cloud, all on top of deeper
integration with other Google Cloud services.
And it doesn't take long to spin up an environment.
You can quickly lower your total cost of ownership
and spend more time planning how to re-architect down the road.
Let's walk through a demo of how to set up Google Cloud VMware
Environment with just a few clicks.
After clicking the Navigation menu,
we'll scroll down to the Compute section
and click VMware Engine, which takes us to an Overview page.
The Overview provides you with additional details
about the service and allows you to perform common operations,
like launching the vSphere client,
creating a private cloud, and adding and managing users.
We'll create a private cloud by clicking the Create Private
Cloud button, then entering a name for our new cloud.
We'll stick with US East for the location
and keep the node count at the minimum number of three.
We'll input the CIDR range for our management appliances,
then click Review and Create.
While our private cloud is being created,
let's talk about pricing, which is per node
and includes all the storage, compute,
and licensing to run your VMware environment.
You'll pay monthly by default, but you can also
sign up for one- or three-year plans to reduce costs.
After our private cloud is created,
we can access it from the Resources screen,
which is where you can view and manage all your private clouds.
We'll click our new private cloud
to view the configuration details.
This is where you can view a summary of your cloud details,
including which versions of vSphere, NSX-T, and HTX
you're currently using.
The links in the upper right of the screen
allow you to launch the virtual center client, which
is the standard enterprise virtual center
client VMware users know today, and expand your cloud
by adding nodes.
There are also additional options
at the bottom of the screen that let you remove nodes, delete
your cloud, and elevate your vSphere privileges,
an important feature that gives you admin access in vCenter
so you can make the configuration
changes necessary to run certain third party software.
Let's scroll back up to the top of the screen
and launch our vSphere client.
After logging in, you can see that we're
working with the same vSphere interface that's
so familiar to admins.
This native access to VMware provides you a standard way
to control your applications while still
getting all the benefits of running on Google Cloud.
Now let's return to the Management Console page
and take a look at the networking details
and configuration options.
This is where you can view your firewall
tables and your subnets, create a public IP
with just a single click, setup and manage VPN gateways,
configure and manage your DNS profiles,
and create and manage private connections to Google services.
The Activities interface provides important details
for your security and operations teams,
including environment alerts, details about past events,
and any currently running tasks and their status.
Your team can also audit logs of any activities performed
by users.
The Account screen provides a summary of your entire VMware
Engine environment, including all your private clouds,
and lets you subscribe to email alerts
and add distribution lists.
The Account screen is also where you can manage any users that
have access to the environment.
One really nice feature of the VMware Engine
is the native integration into Google services.
All the billing related to the service
is integrated seamlessly into the online account management
system, which allows you to see all the usage of your VMware
Engine dedicated nodes right in line with your other Google
Cloud services.
With this quick tour, we've shown you
how to quickly generate a private, native VMware
environment on Google Cloud and use all the same tools
and processes you're already familiar with.
The environment is fully supported by VMware
and gives you the ability to create
hybrid apps that integrate seamlessly
with Google Cloud services.
Google Cloud VMware Engine is available for you
to try out now.
So check out the documentation to learn more details
and spin up your own private VMware environment.
