Summary
Amazon Web Services (AWS) and its channel partners will no longer be reselling VMware Cloud on AWS due to Broadcom's decision to require customers to buy directly from VMware. Broadcom CEO Hock Tan confirmed the shift, noting that current customers will continue being billed by AWS until their subscription terms end. This move has sparked concern among AWS and VMware partners who believe Broadcom is phasing out the product, complicating its future viability. In response, AWS is encouraging customers to migrate their VMware workloads to Amazon EC2, emphasizing the scalability and cost advantages of this alternative.
