VMware Cloud on AWS
VMware Cloud on AWS runs your existing VMware workloads directly on AWS infrastructure, eliminating the need to provision or manage custom hardware. It delivers a hybrid environment where you can extend on-premises data centers into the cloud while maintaining familiar management tools and operational consistency for compute-heavy applications.
This setup suits organizations already invested in VMware ecosystems that want cloud scalability without re-architecting applications. The main friction point is the lack of a free tier; since the pricing model is strictly pay-as-you-go, there is no zero-cost entry point for testing or small deployments, meaning every instance incurs immediate charges.
