AWS Elastic VMware Service (EVS) is a self-managed (not totally managed by AWS) VMware solution built on VMware primitives that exist within the customer VPC.
The dedicated, single-tenant ESXi hosts are deployed on i4i x86 bare-metal instances (128 vCPUs-2.9 GHz/3.5 GHz Turbo and 1 TiB memory) configured in host groups (minimum 4 nodes per cluster). At launch, clusters will be limited to a single availability zone (AZ) but stretch clusters will be supported in the future. Storage relies on 30 TiB local NVMe flash storage or FSx for NetApp ONTAP for the vSAN primary datastore, but future support for Pure Storage and others are in scope. If you’re running VMware with ONTAP on-premises, you can use the same tools and workflows to migrate workloads to AWS and maintain operational consistency. Networking (75 Gbps) is provided across 2 elastic network interfaces (ENIs).
Overview
Customers have indicated they want a 1st party solution from AWS that operates in the same manner as their on-prem solutions. AWS has taken this feedback and created Elastic VMware Service (EVS). AWS Elastic VMware Service (EVS) is a self-managed (not totally managed by AWS) VMware solution built on VMware primitives that exist within the customer VPC. These primitive building blocks allow Insight to build, configure, and deploy an operational VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) 5.2. Unlike the original VMC on AWS solution, EVS offers more flexibility to customers (e.g., choice of patching tools) and is a middle ground option for customers not fully committed to migrating to native AWS. Current release supports BYOL only, but there are plans for license included in the future.

Customers must have AWS Business level support and have their own license.
