Amazon EVS now supports up to 32 hosts per environment

Amazon Elastic VMware Service (Amazon EVS) now supports up to 32 ESXi hosts per environment, doubling the previous limit, and offering greater flexibility in configuration.

Amazon has announced an enhancement to its Elastic VMware Service (Amazon EVS), which now supports up to 32 ESXi hosts per environment. This update effectively doubles the previous limit of 16 hosts, providing users with greater flexibility in configuring VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) domains and clusters.

With this enhancement, users have the option to organize their hosts in various configurations. They can choose to consolidate all hosts into a single large cluster or distribute them across multiple smaller clusters, depending on their specific requirements. This flexibility allows for tailored solutions that can optimize performance and resource management.

The introduction of this increased capacity aims to reduce the operational complexity associated with managing multiple environments. By enabling a service quota increase, users can now scale up to a total of 32 hosts, simplifying operations and potentially lowering management costs.

This upgrade is available in all regions where Amazon EVS is currently offered. For users seeking additional information on how to implement this change, detailed steps and procedures are available on the Amazon EVS product detail page and user guide.
