AI Summary

Microsoft announced it will discontinue the remaining option to purchase VMware products separately, leaving only its bundled Azure VMware Solution (AVS). AVS provides vCenter, vSAN, vSphere and NSX licenses together, but excludes the Software‑Defined Datacenter Manager used by Broadcom’s Cloud Foundation suite. This move ends the last avenue for acquiring VMware tools without a large bundle.
