SmartV Hybrid Cloud Architecture
Author: Vishal Verma (Cloud, Network & Systems Engineer, Sydney, NSW) | Category: Cloud Infrastructure & IaC | Key Metric: 99.99% Multi-AZ SLA
Technology Stack: Microsoft Azure, VMware vSphere, Terraform, Azure Traffic Manager, Site-to-Site VPN
Overview
Designed and deployed a highly available hybrid cloud architecture bridging on-premises VMware workloads with Microsoft Azure.
Architecture & Technical Implementation
SmartV Hybrid Cloud was a major infrastructure initiative that bridged on-premises VMware vSphere workloads with Microsoft Azure. The goal was to provide seamless failover, automated disaster recovery, and elastic compute for enterprise applications.
Using Terraform, the entire infrastructure—including Virtual Networks, ExpressRoute/VPN gateways, NSGs, and recovery vaults—was defined as code, allowing rapid provisioning and deterministic environments. The architecture achieved a 99.99% SLA by utilizing Azure Availability Zones and Traffic Manager.
Key Outcomes
Delivered deterministic infrastructure provisioning with zero-downtime failover drills and unified monitoring across on-prem and Azure estates.
