VMware Aria is powered by VMware Aria Graph, a new graph-based data store technology that reduces multi-cloud complexity across any cloud, any app, and for every persona
“With multi-cloud realities taking hold, managing overall cloud spend, resource utilization, and application performance, security and compliance across different clouds can be increasingly difficult, and consequently, can lead to overspending, inefficiencies, and increased risk. Developers need cost, performance, security, and configuration data – often sitting in disparate tools – to understand the complete characteristics of the application that they are building,” said
VMware Aria features new and expanded capabilities for cloud native and multi-cloud management across three categories - VMware Aria Cost powered by
VMware Aria Graph and VMware Aria Hub: a new technology that powers VMware Aria
At the heart of VMware Aria’s new public cloud management capabilities is VMware Aria Graph, a graph-based data store that captures the resources and relationships of a multi-cloud environment. Expressly designed for the operational challenges of cloud-native applications and environments, VMware Aria Graph provides a single source of truth that is updated in near-real time. Other solutions on the market were designed in a slower moving era, primarily for change management processes and asset tracking. By contrast, VMware Aria Graph is designed expressly for cloud-native operations.
Leveraging a fundamentally different architecture to capture many-to-many relationships, scale to hundreds of millions of objects, and be updated in near-real time, VMware Aria Graph meets the multi-cloud management requirements of the largest and most demanding enterprise. VMware Aria’s graph data store and API services enable it to seamlessly integrate with third-party solutions such as observability and application performance management tools. Data collected and normalized from native public clouds, on-prem clouds,
VMware Aria Graph will be made available to customers as a capability within VMware Aria Hub. First introduced at VMworld 2021 as Project Ensemble, VMware Aria Hub provides centralized views and controls to manage the entire multi-cloud environment.
Key capabilities of VMware Aria Graph include:
-
Highly scalable – supports cloud native environments
- Scales to hundreds of millions of nodes
- Graph data store captures the many-to-many relationships needed to fully understand dependencies
- Enables viewing historical configurations, critical in root cause analyses
-
Event-based collection – supports high rate of change
- Captures change events whenever they happen
- Captures full granularity
-
Federated and modular architecture – enables aggregation of data from any source
- Plug-and-play approach allows you to layer data from third-party tools
- Aligns operational data on a single, holistic source of truth, enabling teams to make better decisions and work more efficiently
-
Unified GraphQL API – simplifies consumption by both developers and ops teams
- Establishes a single, dev-friendly, consistent interface to multi-cloud environments
- Precise GraphQL queries provides lightning quick and extremely efficient access to data
