Azure VMware Solution (AVS) combines the VMware Software Defined Data Center (SDDC) with Microsoft Azure Cloud bare-metal infrastructure. This service enables you to create a VMware private cloud environment, selecting the compute profile that best fits your VMware workload needs. Delivered and operated as a service, your private cloud environment provides all compute, networking, storage, and software required to extend and migrate your on-premises VMware environments to the Azure cloud, delivering a truly hybrid cloud experience. With direct access to VMware vSphere and NSX Manager, you will maintain operational consistency with your on-premises VMware clouds, while being able to leverage the economics, elasticity, and scale of Azure for your VMware private cloud environments.

Legal Terms

Azure VMware Solution is an Azure Service licensed to you as part of your Azure subscription and subject to the terms and conditions of the agreement under which you obtained your Azure subscription (https://azure.microsoft.com/support/legal/). The following additional terms also apply to your use of AVS:

Data Retention. AVS does not currently support retention or extraction of data stored in AVS Clusters. Once an AVS Cluster is deleted, the data cannot be recovered as it terminates all running workloads, components, and destroys all Cluster data and configuration settings, including public IP addresses.

Professional Services Data Transfer to VMware. In the event that you contact Microsoft for technical support relating to Azure VMware Solution and Microsoft must engage VMware for assistance with the issue, Microsoft will transfer the Professional Services Data and the Personal Data contained in the support case to VMware. The transfer is made subject to the terms of the Support Transfer Agreement between VMware and Microsoft, which establishes Microsoft and VMware as independent processors of the Professional Services Data. Before any transfer of Professional Services Data to VMware will occur, Microsoft will obtain and record consent from you for the transfer.

VMware Data Processing Agreement. Once Professional Services Data is transferred to VMware (pursuant to the above section), the processing of Professional Services Data, including the Personal Data contained the support case, by VMware as an independent processor will be governed by the VMware Data Processing Agreement for Microsoft AVS Customers Transferred for L3 Support. You also give authorization to allow your representative(s) who request technical support for Azure VMware Solution to provide consent on your behalf to Microsoft for the transfer of the Professional Services Data to VMware.
