VMware Cloud on AWS Packaging

VMware Cloud on AWS is packaged with several other VMware offerings to provide a range of capabilities for your SDDC.

The VMware Cloud on AWS service is a managed Infrastructure as a Service offering that enables you to deploy Software Defined Data Centers (SDDCs) running VMware software on bare metal EC2 hosts in the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud. VMware Cloud on AWS is provided on a 1 Year subscription term, and billed on a per-host per-year basis. The service offering has the following components:

• A Software-Defined Data Center (SDDC), consisting of:

  • AWS EC2 bare metal servers (i3, i3en, or i4i)

  • VMware vSphere^®

  • VMware vCenter Server^®

  • VMware NSX^®

  • VMware vDefend™ Gateway and Distributed Firewall (formerly NSX)

  • VMware vSAN™

  • VMware HCX^®

• Self-service provisioning of SDDCs from the VMware Cloud Console at vmc.vmware.com.

• Maintenance, patching, and upgrades of the SDDC, performed by VMware by Broadcom

The Service Offering does not include the full feature set of VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF), and notably does not include entitlement to Aria, Tanzu, and vCloud Director. License portability is not permitted for VMware Cloud Foundation or VMware vSphere Foundation as the necessary software is included as part of the service subscription.
