After you implement the Cross Cloud Mobility for VMware Cloud Foundation validated solution, life cycle management for the VMware HCX service on VMware Cloud on AWS is performed automatically, as it is a managed service. In normal operations, the HCX Connector appliance automatically receives the latest service update and it is applied by the VI Admin.
