Aria Suite Deployment - Best Practice

[virtual9999]

Hi, We have 2 Datacenters geographically separated and running vSphere 8.0.2 environment. The 2 vcenters are in enhanced linked mode and would like to install Aria Suite in this environment. What would be the best way to deploy Aria Operations, Operations for Logs and Automation. Can we install all in one site and connect to the other vCenter ?

Thanks in advance..

For VMware Aria Operations:

•  Deploy the primary cluster, consisting of master, replica, and data nodes, in the main datacenter.
•  For any additional datacenters, deploy a cloud proxy and map it to this Aria Operations cluster. Ensure the latency between the primary Aria Operations environment and the cloud proxy is less than 500 ms.

For VMware Aria Logs:

•  Configure a 3-node environment on the primary site.
•  For the secondary datacenter, deploy the cloud proxy for logs. (This cloud proxy will be with Aria operations itself but instead of collecting metrics it is used for log collection)

For VMware Aria Automation:

•  Establish a 3-node HA environment on the primary site.
• For the secondary datacenter, utilize the VMware Aria Automation Extensibility proxy.

Hi , Thanks for your kind response.  Trying to simplify the deployment - Can we Install  just once instance of Aria Ops in one physical datacenter and add  two vcenters ( one local and one remote ) to the same Aria instance ? Will there be any issues ?

Best Regards.

Yes, that can work.
Ensure that latency requirement between aria operation analytics and remote vCenter are within the requirement 
Additionally, you can have one small cloud proxy locally to the remote vcenter , as it will ease off the requirements for latency .
