This article is part 3 of my vCloud vApp design considerations and use cases definition. Click here to read Part 1 and Part 2 In this follow on article we will look at some more of the use cases for vApp’s and what type of vCloud Director networking they will use. Use Case 3 – vApp Network (Routed) You would typically use this configuration where there is a requirement for connectivity between multiple vApps but in addition a requirement to provide controlled segregation between them.  In this example multiple vApps of the same configuration can be deployed without risk of conflict due to the firewall and NAT capability being introduced.  vApps will have connectivity to an isolated Organization network for inter vApp connectivity, but there is no external connectivity available and all network traffic within the Organization is isolated at Layer 2. If you think of a training environment, where […]

This article is part 2 of my vCloud vApp design considerations and use cases definition.  Part 1 can be read by clicking here. In this article we will look at the logical design of vApp use cases.  I have spoke about these in the past in my vCloud Director Networking 101 post, but never really spoke about the specific use case. Use Case 1 – vApp Network Isolated This use case would primarily be used for development and test scenarios, where there is a requirement for vApps to be completely isolated.  In this scenario multiple vApps of the same configuration can be deployed without risk of conflict, since there is no external connectivity available and all network traffic within the vApp is isolated at Layer 2.   The characteristics of these vApps are: VMs are connected together on isolated vApp networks No connectivity between multiple vApps or to organization networks Same configuration can […]
