The most common and recommended approach to implementing infrastructure services in Azure VMware Solution is to treat the AVS private cloud as an additional data center.

Infrastructure services are configured locally or as extensions of existing multi-data center systems, using the same tools deployed in on-premises environments. Benefits to this approach include:

  • Leveraging existing investments in tooling, processes, and training.

  • Continuity of infrastructure services in the event of a communication failure between the AVS private cloud and the on-premises environments.
