VMware HCX Migrations and L2 Extensions: Real-world experiences moving to the cloud

Using VMware HCX you can extend on-premise networks to VMware solutions in the Cloud, allowing you to just vMotion your VMs between on-premise and the Cloud. How does this work in real-life and what are the challenges. Oracle Cloud VMware Solution includes VMware HCX and we will share our experience based on real customer projects with HCX and L2 Extensions and how to use some of the advanced features like Mobility Optimized Networking that can magically control the exit point of network traffic between on-prem and the cloud side.
