VMware Cloud on the AWS L2 network extension service provides customers with the capability to extend the on-premises networks to VMware Cloud on AWS over any IP network using an SSL VPN tunnel (L2VPN) by creating subnets with a single broadcast domain. This enables customers to move workloads between an on-premises network and VMware Cloud on AWS without changing the IP address.

This service starts by introducing it's offering and collecting details to perform a technical gap analysis and recommendation, which helps the customer to prepare the environment for L2 network extension. VMware Cloud on the AWS environment is configured, and extended network functional testing is performed.

Objectives with this service initiative to perform below two activities:

• Establishing an SSL tunnel (L2VPN) between on-premises and VMware Cloud on the AWS network
• Extending the L2 subnets across on-premises and VMware Cloud on AWS networks using the SSL tunnel
