We are currently using VMware Cloud on AWS and are now evaluating options, whether we go with VMware itself or Nutanix or any other such solution. We are not using hybrid cloud management capabilities in VMware Cloud on AWS as we do not have any on-premise data centers. With VMware solutions, hybrid environments can be managed seamlessly through vMotion, bulk migration, and related functionalities. I assess interoperability from VMware tools and AWS services in terms of VPC peering and the creation of endpoints for various services, but we are not using it effectively, so I cannot comment much on that. For VMware Cloud on AWS automation tools, you need a separate subscription to use any automation features. Currently, Aria Operations, which was previously part of VMware Cloud on AWS, has also been moved out, so we do not have that capability available. We do use VMware Cloud on AWS for disaster recovery, referring to the VLR. Our primary goal with VMware Cloud on AWS was to consolidate all the data centers, and the migration of workloads from VMware to VMware was seamless. However, migrating workloads from AWS or Azure was complicated and time-consuming, requiring extensive effort that was convoluted at the time. I rate this solution overall an eight out of ten.
I advise others to look for a solution that provides flexibility and doesn't lock down to a specific cloud. I rate VMware Cloud on AWS an eight out of ten.
