Applying the Guidance for Extending VMware Validated Design to VMware Cloud on AWS

The content in Architecture and Design or Extending VMware Validated Design to VMware Cloud on AWS supplements Architecture and Design in VMware Validated Design for Software-Defined Data Center, also referred to as the Standard SDDC.

Before You Design the Virtual Infrastructure for Extending the SDDC to VMware Cloud on AWS

Before you follow this documentation, you must deploy the components for the Standard SDDC according to VMware Validated Design for Software-Defined Data Center. See Architecture and Design, Planning and Preparation, Deployment for Region A, and Deployment for Region B in the VMware Validated Design documentation.
