Customers worldwide have been successfully migrating their enterprise applications to VMware Cloud on AWS. This service combines the advantages of public cloud scalability and agility with the security, resiliency, and performance benefits of the private cloud. Introduced nearly seven years ago, this offering continues to meet customer needs.
Despite rumors of discontinuation, VMware Cloud on AWS remains active and available. This misinformation has caused unnecessary anxiety among loyal customers who have relied on the service for years. VMware is taking swift action to address these false reports to assure customers of the service’s ongoing support for their strategic business initiatives.
To clarify, VMware Cloud on AWS is no longer being sold directly by AWS or its resellers. Customers who previously purchased the service from AWS will now work with Broadcom or an authorized reseller for subscriptions and expansions. Active subscriptions with monthly payments purchased from AWS will continue to be billed by AWS until the end of their term.
VMware Cloud on AWS has transformed the industry by offering a reliable solution for moving enterprise VMware workloads to the public cloud without the challenges of refactoring and migrating to native cloud services. It also introduced VMware‘s enterprise SDDC software, now available as VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) for both public cloud and on-premises environments. This enables enterprises to modernize their infrastructure with optimal total cost of ownership, flexibility, and workload portability.
In conclusion, VMware Cloud on AWS remains fully operational and available to customers as before. The service continues to provide a seamless and efficient solution for enterprises looking to leverage the benefits of both public and private cloud environments.
