The following native-cloud services are supported for use with your public cloud workload VMs from within NSX Manager.

When you deploy PCG, a Group is created in NSX Manager for each supported native-cloud service.

The following Groups are created for the currently supported public cloud services:
  • aws-dynamo-db-service-endpoint
  • aws-elb-service-endpoint
  • aws-rds-service-endpoint
  • aws-s3-service-endpoint
  • azure-cosmos-db-service-endpoint
  • azure-load-balancer-service-endpoint
  • azure-sql-service-endpoint
  • azure-storage-service-endpoint

To use these native-cloud services, create DFW policies that contain the native-cloud service Group in the Source or Destination fields of the rule as required.

DFW rules are enforced on VMs not on the native-cloud services.

Note: In the NSX Enforced Mode, that is, managing your workloads with NSX Tools, currently there is no support for Microsoft Azure's native-cloud services.
