## Key Technical Points
|
|
- VMC on AWS is a jointly engineered cloud service where the VMware hypervisor runs natively on AWS bare metal servers — "not just something where VMware showed up at Amazon and dropped off a box of CDs"
|
|
- VMC on AWS runs vSphere 8 and provides native access to AWS services with low latency
|
|
- VMware and Amazon jointly manage the underlying infrastructure, allowing users to focus on their workloads
|
|
- Service is available across multiple regions and availability zones globally
