An SDDC group uses
VMware Managed Transit
Gateway
(VTGW
) to provide
high-bandwidth, low-latency connections between SDDCs in the group and to other VPCs in the
same region. You can also add a Direct Connect Gateway (DXGW) to provide centralized
connectivity to your on-premises SDDCs.An SDDC group is a logical entity designed to
simplify management of your organization's VMware Cloud on AWS resources at scale.
Collecting SDDCs into an SDDC group provides a number of benefits to an organization
with multiple SDDCs whose workloads need a high-bandwidth, low-latency connection to
each other. All network traffic between group members travels over a
VTGW
network. Routing between compute networks of
all SDDCs in a group is managed automatically by VTGW
as subnets are added and deleted. The data source requirements to support VMware Transit Connect are:
Data Source | Entites | Permissions |
---|---|---|
VMC NSX | SDDC group, VTGW , SDDC
attachments, VTGW route
table, and VTGW
routes | Administator |
AWS account with native VPCs | AWS TGW attachment | EC2 API permissions |
AWS account with DXGW | DXGW and DXGW associations | EC2 API permissions and Direct Connect permissions |
