What is VMware vShield?

VMware vShield provides firewall protection, traffic analysis, and network perimeter services to protect your vCenter Server virtual infrastructure. vShield virtual appliance installation has been automated for most virtual datacenters.

What is NSX vShield?

Purpose. VMware vShield Endpoint lets you manage anti-virus and anti-malware policies for virtualized environments with the same management interfaces you use to secure physical infrastructure.

Is VMware affected by log4j vulnerability?

Every piece of software that has ever used log4j is potentially vulnerable. VMware uses log4j as well, which is why we have issued VMSA-2021-0028. However, this vulnerability also affects customer workloads.

What are the benefits of vShield endpoint?

vShield Endpoint enhances security with a hardened, tamper-proof secure virtual appliance (delivered by VMware partners) that uses the robust and secure hypervisor introspection capabilities in vSphere, reducing the vulnerability of the antivirus and anti-malware service itself.

What happens if NSX manager goes down?

NSX Manager keeps track of VMs that are moved from one cluster to another and sends this information to hosts upon VM migration. But if the NSX Manager is powered off, there is no communication between the hosts and the NSX Manager to send the updated exclude list down to the migrated cluster.

Does vRNI require NSX?

While NSX and vRNI are often paired, vRNI has exactly the same capabilities when you're not using NSX.

What is Vtep in NSX T?

Each hypervisor has a virtual tunnel end-point (VTEP) that is responsible for encapsulating VM traffic inside of a VXLAN header and routing the packet to a destination VTEP for further processing. Traffic can be routed to another VTEP on a different host or the VMware NSX Edge Gateway to access the physical network.

Should I be worried about Log4j vulnerability?

Many software use logs for development and security purposes. Log4j is a part of this logging process. Hence, it is highly possible that the vulnerability could affect millions and millions of victims. Individuals as well as organisations are affected by this.

How risky is the Log4j vulnerability?

Log4j is used worldwide across software applications and online services, and the vulnerability requires very little expertise to exploit. This makes Log4shell potentially the most severe computer vulnerability in years.

How serious is Log4j vulnerability?

The Log4j issue is a type of remote code execution vulnerability, and a very serious one that allows an attacker to drop malware or ransomware on a target system. This can, in turn, lead to complete compromise of the network and the theft of sensitive information as well as the possibility of sabotage.

What is vCloud used for?

VMware vCloud Suite is a combination of an enterprise-proven compute virtualization platform and a multi-cloud management solution that delivers the industry's most complete solution for building and managing multi-cloud environments based on VMware Cloud.

What are the benefits of VMware vCloud usage meter?

vCloud Usage Meter collects product consumption data, and generates reports for products that are part of VMware Cloud Provider Program bundles.

Which VMware products are affected by log4j?

VMware vRealize Log Insight Cloud Proxy. VMware Remote Console (VMRC) VMware Cloud Services Cloud Proxy. vRealize AI Cloud Cloud Proxy.

How do I stop VMware from running in the background?

Whenever you finish using VMware Workstation just run the VMware_Workstation_Stop. bat file to shut down the VMware services.

Who owns vCloud?

VMware announced plans for a vCloud Air Virtual Private Cloud OnDemand early access program on October 14, 2014. The program was officially launched on November 17, 2014.

What is the difference between vSphere and vCloud?

vCloud Director operates on a higher level and is an abstraction of vSphere and the hardware that it controls. VCD allows you to create virtual data centers. vSphere, instead, lets you create virtual machines in traditional data centers. No longer do customers have to raise tickets to adjust their virtual hardware.

What is the difference between vCenter and vCloud?

While a vCenter admin can see virtual data centers, which are logical units for management, a vCloud Director user (tenant) can see only organizational data centers, catalogs, users, and options to manage a virtual organizational data center.
