cloud: VMware @AWS "SDDC"

This is a fully managed service provided by VMware, hosted on AWS.
Optimal for "lift and shift" migration to public cloud,
and when hosted there has fast access to AWS services.

For those using Microsoft management tools migration to Azure is already easy.
Still the VM images on Azure are not identical to those on premise.
