AWS announces general availability of Amazon Elastic VMware Service (Amazon EVS)

Today, AWS announces the general availability of Amazon Elastic VMware Service (Amazon EVS), allowing you to run VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) directly within your Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC). With Amazon EVS, you can leverage the scale, elasticity, and performance of AWS while maintaining your familiar VCF software and existing skills, eliminating the need to re-platform or re-factor applications during your migration.

Amazon EVS offers you choice, control, and flexibility in managing your VMware environments. You can self-manage your infrastructure or leverage the expertise of AWS Partners to manage and operate your VCF environment on AWS. The service allows you to retain control over your VMware architecture in the cloud with full administrative access to your environment. Meet your unique needs as you optimize your virtualization stack on AWS and integrate preferred external storage, backup, and disaster recovery solutions. You can also take advantage of flexible consumption models, including on-demand, one-year, and three-year options, enabling cost optimization. Amazon EVS combines the benefits of AWS with a ready-to-use VCF environment so you can migrate, scale, and optimize with over 200 fully featured services, from advanced generative AI capabilities to foundational compute, storage, and database services. With license portability entitlement, you can bring your VCF licenses to Amazon EVS. The service currently supports VCF version 5.2.1 and runs workloads on i4i.metal instances.

Amazon EVS is now generally available in six AWS Regions: US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), US West (Oregon), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), Europe (Frankfurt), and Europe (Ireland).

To get started with Amazon EVS, access the service through the AWS Console. For more information about features and pricing, visit the Amazon EVS product page and refer to the documentation to help you get started.
