Hi
Would like to check if VMware on AWS (VMC) does support proximity routing with HCX.
I see no reason why it should not be, but I have not tested it myself.
It has been support for the last several releases. It has not been certified for docker/containers yet. We've had a few issues with private networks.
Proximity routing is supported, please check the release notes link below:
the below article dated 12/12/2019 states that it is not supported
At the time, of this writing, the VMC cloud cannot be configured to meet the VMware HCX-PR requirements.
I do confirm, Proximity routing is not supported (for the moment) in VMC with our embedded HCX.
Is it with NSX-T?
Hi vdavid,
Proximity routing newly renamed "Mobility optimized networking" is embedded into HCX including HCX provided with VMC.
And yes, VMC leverages NSX-T.
Any questions?
thank you
I run into the lack of proximity routing during my PoC in early 2022. I knew it was released starting 2021 under the name "mobility optimized networking". So I ran again into this topic during my "VMware Cloud on AWS - Install, Configure and Manage" course and I was ablte to test the functionality. I can confirm its working as it should and it is easy to configure.
