In our previous post we saw the design of the AWS Backup on VMC. In this post we’re going through the implementation steps As per the design and best practice, we are going to use the ENI for the Backup traffic CREATE A VPC ENDPOINT  TO CREATE AN INTERFACE ENDPOINT FOR AN AWS SERVICE 1. Open the Amazon VPC console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/vpc    2. In the navigation pane, choose Endpoints 3. Choose Create endpoint 4. Name the endpoint   5. For Service category, choose AWS services 6. For Service name, search “ Backup ” and select “ backup-gateway ” service from the dropdown 7. For VPC, select the VPC which we used for SDDC deployment and extension 8. To create an interface endpoint for Amazon S3, you must “uncheck” Additional settings, Enable DNS name. This is because Amazon S3 does not support private DNS for interface VPC endpoints 9. For  Subnets , select one subnet per Availability Zone which we used for SDDC VMC selection  10. For Security group , sel

This blog post provides the high level design for implementing the Native AWS Backup to protect the VMware Workloads hosted on VMware Cloud on AWS.  VMware Cloud on AWS VMware Cloud on AWS enables customers to deploy the SDDC and consume vSphere workloads as a managed service on AWS global infrastructure. VMC is a jointly engineered solution by VMware and AWS that provides customers with a true hybrid cloud experience. As customers continue to adopt VMware Cloud on AWS, data protection for the VMs and workloads hosted on the VMC SDDC is becoming increasingly important. Customers should also be able to comply with data regulations and manage backup costs effectively. This post will go over the design considerations and best practices for enabling Native AWS Backup for VMs hosted on VMC SDDC. We'll go over different architecture design options and use cases that address customer needs. AWS Backup for VMware We can centrally protect our VMware workloads hosted on VMC SDDC thanks to A
