You have multiple options for purchasing VMware Cloud on AWS.

Purchasing from different sources results in a different seller of record being associated with the resources you purchase. The seller of record is responsible for billing the resources purchased from them. The seller of record also determines attributes such as payment types, terms of service, catalogue, region, and currency. Multiple options allow you to select the best seller attributes for your organization.

You can have more than one seller of record in an Organization. For example, if you currently have an Organization containing SDDCs through VMware, and you want to purchase additional SDDCs through AWS, you can add AWS as a seller of record to allow you to add those SDDCs. You can do the reverse for an Organization containing SDDCs purchased from AWS to allow you purchase SDDCs and additional services sold by VMware. To add another seller of record, contact your Account Executive for assistance.
