The main point for improvement in VMware Cloud on AWS is the technical support. As for additional features, currently, to perform any automation, a subscription to Aria Operations is required, but that feature is being removed from VMware Cloud on AWS. I would prefer if essential automation functionalities were included directly within VMware Cloud on AWS rather than needing an additional subscription. Additionally, on the cost aspect, it would be beneficial to have ready-made reports for chargebacks against departments or projects without extensive analysis of compute, memory, and storage. When it comes to storage, a significant portion is reserved for management purposes, limiting usable storage. Following RAID configuration, we only have about 40% available for actual workload consumption. Consequently, estimating costs associated with storage becomes challenging. In summary, we need better price management, capacity management, and availability reporting in VMware Cloud on AWS. Currently, I rely on third-party tools for notifications, but such features should be readily available within VMware Cloud on AWS to ease the workload for administrators or operation heads.

There is one thing for improvement. To connect with VMware Cloud on AWS, you need to connect via some sort of IPS. Previously, there were no IPS features available. They have already introduced it last year, but now it is available to use. We haven't used it before because we were using a different firewall solution in front of it. Also, the traffic from VMware to AWS was going through the VPN channel, but we are now removing that solution. So, while we can't remove the checkpoint, we can use IP signatures into the email too. We can take the security part out from their end and move it directly.

The platform's cost could be reduced.
