Network pairs for recovering virtual machines to AWS
If the target data center is Amazon Web Services (AWS), you can create network groups of only subnets from different availability zones. When you pair network groups and perform a disaster recovery operation, virtual machines are migrated to different availability zones of AWS based on subnet mapping. You need to create following network pairs for recovering or migrating virtual machines to AWS:
On-premises data center Subnet to Cloud Subnet
On-premises data center Subnet to Network Group consisting of Cloud Subnets
To create network pairs, refer to the following topic.
Creating network pairs between source and target data centers
Behavior of workload NICs that don't have network mapping / IP address defined while recovery to target data center:
Table:
Source Technology | Target Technology | Network mapping for disaster recovery | NIC has IP address assigned | Network Mapping is done for NIC | NIC created on target side | NIC behavior on target side |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
VMware/HyperV | AWS | Subnet to Cloud Subnet | Yes | Yes | Yes | NIC is created on target side. |
Yes | No | No | NIC is not created on target side. | |||
No | No | No | NIC is not created on target side. |
