New Self-Managed VMware Offering on Google Cloud
Google Cloud has announced the general availability of the VMware solution on Google Cloud. This new offering is part of the Google Cloud Modernize portfolio and provides customers with full administrative authority over VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) running on dedicated Google Cloud bare metal infrastructure.
Expanded Deployment Flexibility
This self-managed deployment model expands Google Cloud's options for VMware workloads, complementing the existing Google-managed service, Google Cloud VMware Engine. It offers greater flexibility and architectural choice, allowing organizations to maintain direct control over their virtualization stack, specific maintenance windows, and custom integrations with third-party tools.
The launch of VMware Cloud Foundation 9.x by Broadcom is a key enabler for this self-managed option, allowing customers to leverage Broadcom's innovations and maximize their VCF licensing investments.

The solution allows customers to migrate and modernize mission-critical VMware workloads without altering existing operational playbooks. It supports VCF license portability, enabling customers to use their existing subscriptions. Additionally, customers can apply Google Cloud commitments and discounts to optimize costs.
