Connectivity Options

Hybrid connectivity options, such as Cloud VPN and Cloud/Partner Interconnect, are available.

If leveraging VMware HCX to migrate workloads from the on-premises data center to a Google Cloud VMware Engine Software-Defined Data Center (SDDC), a Cloud Interconnect-based connectivity is required.

Private services access must be set up for the connections from the VPC network to the VMware Engine network. For private services access, custom routes for the VMware Engine SDDC must be added to the Cloud Router of the Customer VPC when using Cloud Interconnect. If using Cloud VPN, VMware Engine networks must be added to the Cloud VPN tunnel. Organizations must ensure that the management and workload CIDR ranges do not overlap with any other on-premises environments, Google Cloud VMware Engine SDDCs, or interconnected Google VPCs.
