Amazon Elastic VMware Service (Amazon EVS) became available in Asia Pacific (Seoul), Europe (Zurich), and Europe (Stockholm) regions, providing customers the ability to run VMware Cloud Foundation directly on EC2 bare-metal instances within their Amazon VPCs. This expansion targeted faster workload migration and compliance with regional data residency by leveraging AWS Nitro-powered infrastructure and supporting VMware VCF versions 9.0 and 9.1.
By placing VMware workloads closer to end users and offering more redundancy options, customers could reduce operational risk and retire aging data center infrastructure more swiftly. The service retains features allowing rapid environment setup and supports critical business continuity requirements through regional high availability capabilities.
