VMware Cloud on AWS is available in many AWS regions. Some AWS regions do not support all VMware Cloud on AWS features.

For information on supported regions for VMware Cloud on AWS GovCloud, see Available VMware Cloud on AWS GovCloud Regions.

AWS Regions that Support VMware Cloud on AWS

Most of the AWS regions that support VMware Cloud on AWS also support stretched clusters. Many also support SDDCs configured to run workloads that require compliance hardening to meet Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard or Information Security Registered Assessors Program (IRAP) requirements.

Regions introduced by AWS after March 20, 2019 require manual enablement in your AWS account. See Managing AWS Regions in the AWS General Reference for more about this process.
