Hybrid Cloud

CloudEOS extends Arista's consistent segmentation, telemetry, and provisioning model from on-premises EOS-based switching into public cloud VPCs on AWS, Azure, and GCP, giving enterprise networks one operational model for on-premises and cloud infrastructure rather than separate processes managed by separate teams with separate tools. CloudEOS runs the same EOS software stack in a virtual router form factor, enabling BGP-based routing, EVPN-VXLAN overlays, and policy-based forwarding between on-premises data centers and cloud regions using identical configuration abstractions.

CloudVision extends its management visibility across the CloudEOS virtual routers in the same dashboard as the physical EOS switches on-premises, providing a single pane that shows path health, traffic flows, and telemetry from both environments. This unified view enables correlation of on-premises switch events with cloud routing behavior: identifying, for example, where a cloud workload's response time increase originates relative to the network path that connects it to on-premises services, without switching between separate management consoles.

Segmentation policy from Arista MSS extends into cloud VPCs through CloudEOS, allowing microsegmentation rules defined in the on-premises fabric to govern traffic between cloud workloads without requiring duplicate cloud-native security group rules for every on-premises policy requirement. For organizations building multi-cloud environments, CloudEOS and CloudVision provide a consistent operational model that avoids the proliferation of cloud-specific management consoles and CLI conventions that erodes operational efficiency as the cloud footprint grows across multiple providers.
