Overview
VMware partnered with AWS to develop VMware Cloud on AWS (VMC on AWS), a jointly engineered cloud service where the VMware hypervisor runs natively on AWS bare metal servers (i3.metal / i3en.metal). This is not a simple deployment of VMware software onto cloud infrastructure — it is a true joint engineering effort between VMware and AWS.
