4 This lab may be available in other languages. To set your language preference and have a localized manual deployed with your lab, you may utilize this document to help guide you through the process: Location of the Main Console 1. The area in the RED box contains the Main Console. The Lab Manual is on the tab to the Right of the Main Console. 2. A particular lab may have additional consoles found on separate tabs in the upper left. You will be directed to open another specific console if needed. 3. Your lab starts with 90 minutes on the timer. The lab can not be saved. All your work must be done during the lab session. But you can click the EXTEND to increase your time. If you are at a VMware event, you can extend your lab time twice, for up to 30 minutes. Each click gives you an additional 15 minutes. Outside of VMware events, you can extend your lab time up to 9 hours and 30 minutes. Each click gives you an additional hour. Alternate Methods of Keyboard Data Entry During this module, you will input text into the Main Console. Besides directly typing it in, there are two very helpful methods of entering data which make it easier to enter complex data. Page 4

5 Click and Drag Lab Manual Content Into Console Active Window You can also click and drag text and Command Line Interface (CLI) commands directly from the Lab Manual into the active window in the Main Console. Accessing the Online International Keyboard You can also use the Online International Keyboard found in the Main Console. 1. Click on the Keyboard Icon found on the Windows Quick Launch Task Bar. Page 5

6 Click once in active console window In this example, you will use the Online Keyboard to enter the sign used in addresses. The sign is Shift-2 on US keyboard layouts. 1. Click once in the active console window. 2. Click on the Shift key. Click on key 1. Click on the "@ key". Notice sign entered in the active console window. Page 6

7 Activation Prompt or Watermark When you first start your lab, you may notice a watermark on the desktop indicating that Windows is not activated. One of the major benefits of virtualization is that virtual machines can be moved and run on any platform. The Hands-on Labs utilizes this benefit and we are able to run the labs out of multiple datacenters. However, these datacenters may not have identical processors, which triggers a Microsoft activation check through the Internet. Rest assured, VMware and the Hands-on Labs are in full compliance with Microsoft licensing requirements. The lab that you are using is a self-contained pod and does not have full access to the Internet, which is required for Windows to verify the activation. Without full access to the Internet, this automated process fails and you see this watermark. This cosmetic issue has no effect on your lab. Look at the lower right portion of the screen Page 7

8 Please check to see that your lab is finished all the startup routines and is ready for you to start. If you see anything other than "Ready", please wait a few minutes. If after 5 minutes your lab has not changed to "Ready", please ask for assistance. Page 8

11 Making the Case for Modernizing the Data Center Learn what it means to modernize the data center A modern data center virtualizes computer, storage and networking resources to form a Software Defined Datacenter (SDDC). This lab introduces vsphere 6.5 (compute) vsan (storage) and NSX (network). Digital Evolution in the Multi-Cloud Era Virtualization technology changed the game for compute. However, that led to a mismatch between the highly-efficient compute layer versus shared storage and networking services. As a result, many organizations face high storage costs, complex management, and limited flexibility. Three trends are placing more pressure on IT infrastructure and operations: First, the digital economy is demanding more from IT than ever before. Business initiatives have multiple associated IT projects. Thanks to the simplicity of deploying new apps on our smartphones, clients expect near instantaneous responses from IT. Second, IT budget constraints no longer allow massive spending for hardware. Third, the fast pace of technology innovation requires investment and adaptation to stay efficient. There are many options today for flash storage, compute, and cloud. How do companies minimizing the risk that their investment could be outdated in a short time? Page 11

16 Introducing vsphere 6.7 Here is an introduction to some of the features in vsphere 6.7. vsphere 6.7 vsphere 6.7 is the efficient and secure platform for hybrid clouds, fueling digital transformation by delivering simple and efficient management at scale, comprehensive built-in security, a universal application platform, and seamless hybrid cloud experience. vsphere 6.7 delivers key capabilities to enable IT organizations to address trends that are putting new demands on their IT infrastructure: Explosive growth in quantity and variety of applications, from business critical apps to new intelligent workloads. Rapid growth of hybrid cloud environments and use cases. On-premises data centers growing and expanding globally, including at the Edge. Security of infrastructure and applications attaining paramount importance. Key Capabilities in vsphere 6.7 Page 16

17 Simple and Efficient Management, at Scale vsphere 6.7 provides exceptional management simplicity, operational efficiency, and faster time to market, all at scale. vsphere 6.7 delivers an exceptional experience for the user with an enhanced vcenter Server Appliance (vcsa). It introduces several new APIs that improve the efficiency and experience to deploy vcenter, to deploy multiple vcenters based on a template, to make management of vcenter Server Appliance significantly easier, as well as for backup and restore. It also significantly simplifies the vcenter Server topology through vcenter with embedded platform services controller in enhanced linked mode, enabling customers to link multiple vcenters and have seamless visibility across the environment without the need for an external platform services controller or load balancers. Page 17

18 vsphere 6.7 improves efficiency at scale when updating ESXi hosts, significantly reducing maintenance time by eliminating one of two reboots normally required for major version upgrades (Single Reboot). In addition to that, vsphere Quick Boot is a new innovation that restarts the ESXi hypervisor without rebooting the physical host, skipping time-consuming hardware initialization. Another key component that allows vsphere 6.7 to deliver a simplified and efficient experience is the graphical user interface itself. The HTML5-based vsphere Client provides a modern user interface experience that is both responsive and easy to use. With vsphere 6.7, it includes added functionality to support not only the typical workflows customers need but also other key functionality like managing NSX, vsan, and third-party components. Page 18

19 Comprehensive Built-In Security vsphere 6.7 builds on the security capabilities in vsphere 6.5 and leverages its unique position as the hypervisor to offer comprehensive security that starts at the core, via an operationally simple policy-driven model. vsphere 6.7 adds support for Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 2.0 hardware devices and also introduces Virtual TPM 2.0, significantly enhancing protection and assuring integrity for both the hypervisor and the guest operating system. This capability helps prevent VMs and hosts from being tampered with, prevents the loading of unauthorized components and enables guest operating system security features security teams are asking for. Seamless Hybrid Cloud Experience With the fast adoption of vsphere-based public clouds through VMware Cloud Provider Program partners, VMware Cloud on AWS, as well as other public cloud providers, VMware is committed to delivering a seamless hybrid cloud experience for customers. Page 19

20 vsphere 6.7 introduces vcenter Server Hybrid Linked Mode, which makes it easy and simple for customers to have unified visibility and manageability across an onpremises vsphere environment running on one version and a vsphere-based public cloud environment, such as VMware Cloud on AWS, running on a different version of vsphere. This ensures that the fast pace of innovation and introduction of new capabilities in vsphere-based public clouds does not force the customer to constantly update and upgrade their on-premises vsphere environment. vsphere 6.7 also introduces Cross-Cloud Cold and Hot Migration, further enhancing the ease of management across and enabling a seamless and non-disruptive hybrid cloud experience for customers. Learn More As the ideal, efficient, secure universal platform for hybrid cloud, supporting new and existing applications, serving the needs of IT and the business, vsphere 6.7 reinforces your investment in VMware. vsphere 6.7 is one of the core components of VMwares SDDC and a fundamental building block of your cloud strategy. With vsphere 6.7, you can now run, manage, connect, and secure your applications in a common operating environment, across your hybrid cloud. This article only touched upon the key highlights of this release, but there are many more new features.

24 vsphere Client Home Tab From this page, we are able to see all the different components currently configured with vcenter, as well as the other products working in conjunction with vcenter, plus any plugins that are installed (or ready to be installed). Encrypted vmotion Starting with vsphere 6.5, vsphere vmotion always uses encryption when migrating encrypted virtual machines. For virtual machines that are not encrypted, you can select one of the encrypted vsphere vmotion options. 1. Disabled Do not use Encrypted vmotion, even if available 2. Opportunistic Use Encrypted vmotion if source and destination hosts support it, fall back to unencrypted vmotion otherwise. This is the default option. 3. Required Allow only Encrypted vmotion. If the source or destination host does not support vmotion Encryption, do not allow the vmotion to occur. Page 24

25 Hosts and Clusters Page As mentioned above, Opportunistic is the default setting. To change (or check) this setting on an existing VM, let's go back to the "Hosts and Clusters" section 1. Select the Home icon at the top of the page 2. Select "Hosts and Clusters" from the menu Page 25

50 Network Virtualization In this section, we will walk you through the process of deploying NSX distributed firewall to protect a three tier application using an NSX Distributed Firewall (DFW). As discussed before, traditional hardware-defined solutions rely on placing rigid security constructs primarily on the data center perimeter, leaving the inside of the data center unguarded. By contrast, NSX enables a fundamentally-more secure data center by integrating virtualized security and distributed firewalling directly into the infrastructure. This functionality is called NSX Distributed Firewall (DFW). DFW is a hypervisor kernel-embedded firewall that provides visibility and control for virtualized workloads and networks. You can create access control policies based on VMware vcenter objects like datacenters, clusters, and virtual machine names; network constructs like IP or IPSets, VLAN (DVS port-groups), VXLAN (logical switches), security groups, as well as user group identity from Active Directory. Firewall rules are enforced at the vnic level of each virtual machine to provide consistent access control even when the virtual machine gets vmotioned. The hypervisor-embedded nature of the firewall delivers close to line rate throughput to enable higher workload consolidation on physical servers. The distributed nature of the firewall provides a scale-out architecture that automatically extends firewall capacity when additional hosts are added to a datacenter. Micro-segmentation is powered by the Distributed Firewall (DFW) component of NSX. DFW operates at the ESXi hypervisor kernel layer and processes packets at near linerate speed. Each VM has its own firewall rules and context. Workload mobility (vmotion) is fully supported with DFW, and active connections remain intact during the move. This advanced security capability makes the data center network more secure by isolating each related group of virtual machines onto a distinct logical network segment, allowing the administrator to firewall traffic traveling from one segment of the data center to another (east-west traffic). This limits attackers ability to move laterally in the data center. Page 50

51 Protecting our 3-Tier Web Application Next, we will leverage our simple 3-tier web app to demonstrate how to leverage NSX DFW to control communication between the different virtual machines. All three virtual machines are running in the same "production" VLAN" and while the diagram above describes the desired outcome, as of now, all 3 VMs are able to communicate with each other. Testing our 3-Tier App via Web Browser 1. Right click on the "3-Tier App" bookmark 2. Select "Open in new tab" Page 51

52 Searching the Database 1. Enter "virtucon" in the text box 2. Click Apply 3. You will see a single entry Test 3-Tier VM to VM Connectivity using PuTTY Select PuTTY from the Windows Taskbar Page 52

54 Logging In If prompted for a username, enter "root" and click enter to login Verifying Connectivity To check connectivity between VMs, we will ping both the app-01a and db-01a VMs from web-01a. ping -c 2 app-01a ping -c 2 db-01a Page 54

55 Reviewing the Results As you can see, web-01a can talk to both app-01a and db-01a, since we have not yet configured the NSX Distributed Firewall. (Note: You might see DUP! at the end of a Ping line. This is due to the nature of the virtual lab environment using nested virtualization and promiscuous mode on the virtual routers. You will not see this in production.) Don't close the window yet. For now, minimize it for later use. Change the Default Firewall Policy from Allow to Block 1. Select the Home Icon 2.

81 Introduction This module is read-only, and contains the following lessons: - Understand the 4 key initiatives needed to achieve a modernized data center. - Conclusion of this Module. Page 81

82 Four Strategic Initiatives Customers that evolve their operations into a modernized data center are building a forward-thinking and flexible strategy that is based upon key virtualization and automation technologies that deliver the flexibility to leverage any type of cloud, application, or infrastructure future. VMware Initiatives for Customer Priorities To achieve a Modernized Data Center, there are four key initiatives. They are: 1. Software Defined Private Cloud 2. Hybrid Cloud 3. Agility by Automation 4. Next Generation Applications In this module, we will review these four initiatives. Initiative One: Software Defined Private Cloud Embrace a hyper-converged data center strategy that includes virtual machines, virtual networks, and virtual storage with a common management platform. This hyper- Page 82

83 converged infrastructure strategy extends virtualization across the entire infrastructure (compute, storage and networking) via common hardware that is managed with existing tools and skillsets. This allows customers to speed deployments and unify and ease operations, monitoring, and IT management, and at the same time improve their ability to scale. The key software-defined components of this hyper-converged strategy include: Compute virtualization, which uses software to simulate the existence of hardware and create a virtual computer system that can run more than one virtual system and multiple operating systems and applications on a single server to reduce costs through server consolidation, increase workload availability and performance, and minimize or eliminate downtime. Storage virtualization, that pools together server-attached flash devices and/or hard disks to provide a highly resilient shared datastore suitable for a variety of workloads to improve storage utilization, easily scale without disruption, and dramatically lower TCO. Network virtualization, which reproduces the physical network in software, embedded in the hypervisor layer and abstracted from the underlying physical hardware. This enables IT to reduce provisioning time from days to seconds, improve operational efficiency with automation, and enable a more secure hybrid cloud architecture with policies attached to each workload that ensure they meet security criteria wherever they are. Cloud management platform to provide a common approach for building and running an enterprise grade hybrid cloud, ensuring agility, efficiency and control across both traditional and cloud native, container-based applications. Initiative Two: Hybrid Cloud Page 83

84 Enable the ability to seamlessly extend and scale software-defined data centers to the public cloud Customers benefit from the ability to deliver dynamic capacity, consolidate or migrate on-premises infrastructure, or develop and test new applications. This flexibility helps organizations gain the freedom to choose the best platform, landing spot, or destination for their applications, whether they reside on or off premises. A common approach to both private and public clouds is imperative for a successful hybrid cloud strategy, specifically one that is consistent and simple to operate, compatible across on and off-premises environments and is ready to deploy VMs, containers and any next-generation application needs. VMware s own customers have reinforced the business need for this flexible hybrid cloud capability to enable their own digital transformation: 92% of VMware enterprise customers say consistency of architecture between private and public clouds is important Many companies say digital transformation is driving many of their IT changes; however, many of transformation plans remain unclear. Some 60% of enterprises reported that they had no formal transformation strategy in place, and many said they face challenges achieving strong IT-business alignment. (451 Research Voice of the Enterprise, 2018) By the end of 2018, more than half of global enterprises will rely on at least one public cloud platform for digital transformation. (Forrester Predictions 2018: Cloud Computing Accelerates Enterprise Transformation Everywhere Report, 2018) 80 % of customers plan to have more than 10 percent of their workloads in public-cloud platforms in three years or plan to double their cloud penetration. (McKinsey Global Cybersecurity Research Report, 2017) VMware s vision for hybrid cloud comes down to three main areas of focus: 1. Make the cloud easy by making it simple to deploy and manage (via lifecycle management capabilities), while providing quick time to value along with an integrated and easily consumable set of SaaS services to discover resources, track costs and provide full visibility across the entire infrastructure 2. Simplify developer consumption with a single control plane across clouds that provides a globally consistent IaaS for cloud APIs to consume native cloud services on any cloud, along with an integrated self-service catalog and simple blueprints that enable iterative development capabilities at the speed that customers require. 3. Provide consistent, unified management and operations for all apps, across platforms and private/public clouds, via automatic, real-time monitoring and metrics with integrated app intelligence to help discover new apps, view overall health and assist in troubleshooting. Leveraging a single, unified Page 84

85 management framework across public and private clouds enables a uniquely flexible approach to operations consistency. Initiative Three: Agility by Automation Broaden business agility via effective IT automation and management to eliminate time-consuming manual processes, siloed workflows, and risky, error-prone tasks for more consistent delivery and management of IT resources. Organizations that embrace this strategy will be able to automate the IT services lifecycle to rapidly configure, provision, test, deploy, migrate, update, and decommission infrastructure and applications. They can even turn infrastructure templates into blueprints that include networking and security profiles to create and deliver standardized services no matter where they deploy their workloads. To enable this next-generation of business success, organizations need to embrace the principles of agility across multiple teams. For the line-of-business, it is important to leverage new applications that drive competitive advantage and enable new business opportunities, while eliminating the barriers and complexities that often coincide with business growth and expansion. For development teams, a proper approach to agility should shorten their release cycles and enable a much more flexible and nimble development process, that is not stagnated by manual processes and challenging infrastructure. For IT teams, a proper execution of an agility initiative ensures that they can keep up with increased business demand to meet faster delivery expectations, while also creating a culture of business enablement and forward-thinking innovation without the traditional risks and complexities that often accompany that progression. The key technical component of this initiative is to provide a single control plane across clouds, with access to native Cloud APIs that enable customers to consume native services on any cloud, while also ensuring the ability for continuous integration, development and delivery of their key apps and services. Page 85

86 Initiative Four: Next Gen Applications Ensure the ability to build next-gen apps while maintaining existing applications by building an agile, flexible, enterprise-grade platform that supports traditional and cloud-native applications. This gives developers the option to use existing development methodologies alongside container technologies and microservice-based architectures for faster and more frequent development with the same management, security, reliability, and governance policies across their entire development ecosystem. Flexible Approaches to a Modernized Data Center Based on Choice and Business Need VMware customers can uniquely leverage a flexible approach and choice of options for how to implement a modern data center, based on business need or unique criteria: Automated (with VMware Cloud Foundation): For customers that are looking for the fastest, out-of-box approach to implementing a private/hybrid cloud experience. These customers are looking to leverage a fully software-defined approach to compute, storage, and networking, delivered in a complete hyperconverged architecture with an emphasis on the value of operational efficiency over design customization and the complexity of integrating the specific pieces and parts of the solution. Customer Profile: Looks for out-of-the-box private/hybrid cloud user experience Chooses hyper-converged infrastructure as primary storage architecture Puts greater value on operational efficacy over design customization Build your own (with VMware Validated Designs): For customers who require the ability to design a customized solution, possibly leveraging existing (traditional) external hardware storage investments instead of full out-of-box integration and automation. This often appeals to customers looking for an incremental, component-based approach to adopting an SDDC. Page 86

87 Customer Profile: Values design customization over out-of-the-box integration and automation Wants to use external storage as the primary storage architecture Prefers an incremental, component-based approach to adopting the SDDC Custom, do-it-yourself approach: For customers that prefer a completely custom and self-validated design and possess a strong technical skillset. This is often the direction chosen for customers that have unique hardware needs or constraints, with infrastructure components that have limited compatibility or specific, yet limited business need. Customer Profile: Prefers a completely custom and self-validated design Possesses strong technical skillset Page 87
