VMware Cloud on AWS is a vSphere-based cloud service. The service brings VMware enterprise class SDDC software to the AWS cloud. It is delivered, sold, and supported by VMware as an on-demand, elastically-scalable service that leverages the global footprint and breadth of services from AWS.

Along with VMware vCenter Server® management and optimizations, it presents a full cloud solution that runs on next-generation, elastic, bare-metal, AWS infrastructure.

This will help in the quick deployment of secure, enterprise-grade AWS cloud-based resources that are operationally consistent with vSphere-based clouds. This will result in a complete turnkey service that operates seamlessly with both on-premises private clouds and advanced AWS services.

In addition, new features enable new functionality that revolutionizes business functions:

• VMware Cloud on AWS disaster recovery: This is an add-on on-demand service that will help to reduce cost, simplify disaster recovery strategy, and accelerate time to production for an environment.
• VMware Hybrid Cloud Extension (HCX): This helps to accelerate cloud adoption by making bulk migrations available for zero downtime live migrations that can be scheduled. This solution is multisite-aware, WAN-optimized, and secure to allow for migrations to occur as quickly as possible to VMware Cloud on AWS.
