This document provides in-depth configuration and implementation guidelines for setting up FlexPod Datacenter for Hybrid Cloud. The following design elements distinguish this version of FlexPod from previous models:

  • Integration of Cisco CloudCenter with FlexPod Datacenter with ACI as the private cloud

  • Integration of Cisco CloudCenter with Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure Resource Manager (MS Azure RM) public clouds

  • Providing secure connectivity between the FlexPod data center and the public clouds for secure traffic between virtual machines (VMs)

  • Providing secure connectivity between the FlexPod data center and NetApp Private Storage (NPS) for data replication traffic

  • Ability to deploy application instances in either public or private clouds and to make up-to-date application data available to these instances through orchestration driven by Cisco CloudCenter

  • Setting up, validating, and highlighting operational aspects of a development and test environment in this new hybrid cloud mode.
