SDK for PHP 3.x

Client: Aws\Evs\EvsClient
Service ID: evs
Version: 2023-07-27

This page describes the parameters and results for the operations of the Amazon Elastic VMware Service (2023-07-27), and shows how to use the Aws\Evs\EvsClient object to call the described operations. This documentation is specific to the 2023-07-27 API version of the service.

Operation Summary

Each of the following operations can be created from a client using $client->getCommand('CommandName'), where "CommandName" is the name of one of the following operations. Note: a command is a value that encapsulates an operation and the parameters used to create an HTTP request.

You can also create and send a command immediately using the magic methods available on a client object: $client->commandName(/* parameters */). You can send the command asynchronously (returning a promise) by appending the word "Async" to the operation name: $client->commandNameAsync(/* parameters */).

CreateEnvironment ( array $params = [] )
Creates an Amazon EVS environment that runs VCF software, such as SDDC Manager, NSX Manager, and vCenter Server.
CreateEnvironmentHost ( array $params = [] )
Creates an ESXi host and adds it to an Amazon EVS environment.
DeleteEnvironment ( array $params = [] )
Deletes an Amazon EVS environment.
DeleteEnvironmentHost ( array $params = [] )
Deletes a host from an Amazon EVS environment.
GetEnvironment ( array $params = [] )
Returns a description of the specified environment.
ListEnvironmentHosts ( array $params = [] )
List the hosts within an environment.
ListEnvironmentVlans ( array $params = [] )
Lists environment VLANs that are associated with the specified environment.
ListEnvironments ( array $params = [] )
Lists the Amazon EVS environments in your Amazon Web Services account in the specified Amazon Web Services Region.
ListTagsForResource ( array $params = [] )
Lists the tags for an Amazon EVS resource.
TagResource ( array $params = [] )
Associates the specified tags to an Amazon EVS resource with the specified resourceArn.
UntagResource ( array $params = [] )
Deletes specified tags from an Amazon EVS resource.

Paginators

Paginators handle automatically iterating over paginated API results. Paginators are associated with specific API operations, and they accept the parameters that the corresponding API operation accepts. You can get a paginator from a client class using getPaginator($paginatorName, $operationParameters). This client supports the following paginators:

ListEnvironmentHosts
ListEnvironmentVlans
ListEnvironments

Operations

CreateEnvironment

$result = $client->createEnvironment([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->createEnvironmentAsync([/* ... */]);

Creates an Amazon EVS environment that runs VCF software, such as SDDC Manager, NSX Manager, and vCenter Server.

During environment creation, Amazon EVS performs validations on DNS settings, provisions VLAN subnets and hosts, and deploys the supplied version of VCF.

It can take several hours to create an environment. After the deployment completes, you can configure VCF according to your unique requirements.

You cannot use the dedicatedHostId and placementGroupId parameters together in the same CreateEnvironment action. This results in a ValidationException response.

EC2 instances created through Amazon EVS do not support associating an IAM instance profile.

Parameter Details

Members
clientToken
Type: string

This parameter is not used in Amazon EVS currently. If you supply input for this parameter, it will have no effect.

A unique, case-sensitive identifier that you provide to ensure the idempotency of the environment creation request. If you do not specify a client token, a randomly generated token is used for the request to ensure idempotency.

connectivityInfo
Required: Yes
Type: ConnectivityInfo structure

The connectivity configuration for the environment. Amazon EVS requires that you specify two route server peer IDs. During environment creation, the route server endpoints peer with the NSX edges over the NSX, providing BGP dynamic routing for overlay networks.

environmentName
Type: string

The name to give to your environment. The name can contain only alphanumeric characters (case-sensitive), hyphens, and underscores. It must start with an alphanumeric character, and can't be longer than 100 characters. The name must be unique within the Amazon Web Services Region and Amazon Web Services account that you're creating the environment in.

hosts
Required: Yes
Type: Array of HostInfoForCreate structures

The ESXi hosts to add to the environment. Amazon EVS requires that you provide details for a minimum of 4 hosts during environment creation.

For each host, you must provide the desired hostname, EC2 SSH key, and EC2 instance type. Optionally, you can also provide a partition or cluster placement group to use, or use Amazon EC2 Dedicated Hosts.

initialVlans
Required: Yes
Type: InitialVlans structure

The initial VLAN subnets for the environment. You must specify a non-overlapping CIDR block for each VLAN subnet.

kmsKeyId
Type: string

A unique ID for the customer-managed KMS key that is used to encrypt the VCF credential pairs for SDDC Manager, NSX Manager, and vCenter appliances. These credentials are stored in Amazon Web Services Secrets Manager.

licenseInfo
Required: Yes
Type: Array of LicenseInfo structures

The license information that Amazon EVS requires to create an environment. Amazon EVS requires two license keys: a VCF solution key and a vSAN license key. VCF licenses must have sufficient core entitlements to cover vCPU core and vSAN storage capacity needs.

VCF licenses can be used for only one Amazon EVS environment. Amazon EVS does not support reuse of VCF licenses for multiple environments.

VCF license information can be retrieved from the Broadcom portal.

serviceAccessSecurityGroups
Type: ServiceAccessSecurityGroups structure

The security group that controls communication between the Amazon EVS control plane and VPC. The default security group is used if a custom security group isn't specified.

The security group should allow access to the following.

  • TCP/UDP access to the DNS servers

  • HTTPS/SSH access to the host management VLAN subnet

  • HTTPS/SSH access to the Management VM VLAN subnet

You should avoid modifying the security group rules after deployment, as this can break the persistent connection between the Amazon EVS control plane and VPC. This can cause future environment actions like adding or removing hosts to fail.

serviceAccessSubnetId
Required: Yes
Type: string

The subnet that is used to establish connectivity between the Amazon EVS control plane and VPC. Amazon EVS uses this subnet to validate mandatory DNS records for your VCF appliances and hosts and create the environment.

siteId
Required: Yes
Type: string

The Broadcom Site ID that is allocated to you as part of your electronic software delivery. This ID allows customer access to the Broadcom portal, and is provided to you by Broadcom at the close of your software contract or contract renewal. Amazon EVS uses the Broadcom Site ID that you provide to meet Broadcom VCF license usage reporting requirements for Amazon EVS.

tags
Type: Associative array of custom strings keys (TagKey) to strings

Metadata that assists with categorization and organization. Each tag consists of a key and an optional value. You define both. Tags don't propagate to any other cluster or Amazon Web Services resources.

termsAccepted
Required: Yes
Type: boolean

Customer confirmation that the customer has purchased and maintains sufficient VCF software licenses to cover all physical processor cores in the environment, in compliance with VMware's licensing requirements and terms of use.

vcfHostnames
Required: Yes
Type: VcfHostnames structure

The DNS hostnames for the virtual machines that host the VCF management appliances. Amazon EVS requires that you provide DNS hostnames for the following appliances: vCenter, NSX Manager, SDDC Manager, and Cloud Builder.

vcfVersion
Required: Yes
Type: string

The VCF version to use for the environment. Amazon EVS only supports VCF version 5.2.1 at this time.

vpcId
Required: Yes
Type: string

A unique ID for the VPC that connects to the environment control plane for service access.

Amazon EVS requires that all VPC subnets exist in a single Availability Zone in a Region where the service is available.

The VPC that you select must have a valid DHCP option set with domain name, at least two DNS servers, and an NTP server. These settings are used to configure your VCF appliances and hosts.

If you plan to use HCX over the internet, choose a VPC that has a primary CIDR block and a /28 secondary CIDR block from an IPAM pool. Make sure that your VPC also has an attached internet gateway.

Amazon EVS does not support the following Amazon Web Services networking options for NSX overlay connectivity: cross-Region VPC peering, Amazon S3 gateway endpoints, or Amazon Web Services Direct Connect virtual private gateway associations.
