This expansion allows VMware workloads to benefit from lower latency closer to end users, compliance with data residency requirements, and additional high availability options. Amazon EVS enables running VMware Cloud Foundation directly within a VPC on EC2 bare-metal instances powered by AWS Nitro, allowing a complete VCF environment to be set up in just a few hours.
