AVS, GCVE and the like: the vSphere estate moving to the cloud without conversions — when you need to leave the iron, now.
Azure VMware Solution, Google Cloud VMware Engine and the others: complete vSphere environments on cloud bare metal, managed by the provider. The VMs migrate with vMotion/HCX without touching them, the operators stay in their world, and next door are the native cloud services. The fastest bridge out of the iron — with a plan for afterwards.


AVS vs GCVE vs staying vs VCF on-prem: the numbers on YOUR estate, before the choice.
Application groups with HCX, rehearsals and rollback: the move as a controlled process.
Cloud nodes are pricey: consolidating BEFORE migrating cuts the bill at the root.
The VMware cloud as a stage: the right apps evolve toward the native services, calmly.
The VCF private cloud also runs on the hyperscalers (AVS on Azure, GCVE on Google, VCF on AWS/OCI): dedicated bare-metal nodes with vSphere/vSAN/NSX identical to on-prem, HCX for hot mobility, the adjacency to the native services (databases, AI, backup) at campus latency; the VCF licenses can be brought along (license portability) where the program allows: the data center exit without rewriting anything, or the burst for the peaks.
The room closes, the estate flies: without rewriting anything.
The refresh avoided: OpEx instead of CAPEX.
The vSphere site B, switched on on demand.
