AVS roadmap

AVS is the quickest and most cost-effective method to quickly move and operate VMware in the cloud, thanks to its unique Azure hybrid features and ESU for Windows Server and SQL Server. AVS provides parity with on-premises infrastructures, allowing data center migrations to be hastened and cloud advantages to be achieved sooner. This symmetry also allows IT teams to use the same VMware skills, procedures, and investments established in on-premises VMware systems. AVS provides a straightforward method for extending and migrating existing VMware private clouds to operate natively in Azure.

Since the launch of AVS 2 years ago, Microsoft has continued to make enhancements to the solution while ensuring that global customers have access to the solution. As of the writing of this book, AVS is now available in 24 regions globally.
