VMware Transit Connect Support in
VMware Aria Operations for Networks

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:
