What is Azure VMware Solution?
Azure VMware Solution enables users to run VMware workloads natively on Azure. The user can move VMware-based workloads from the datacenter to Azure and integrate a VMware environment with Azure. This enables users to continue managing existing environments with the same VMware tools already in use while including Azure native services. Azure VMware Solution is a Microsoft service, verified by VMware, that runs on Azure infrastructure.
