VMware Cloud on AWS Testing and Validation

Leveraging VMware Cloud on AWS enables VMware Technology Alliance Partners to extend their applications into the world’s largest hybrid cloud environment. Current VMware TAP members in good program standing can apply to test their application/infrastructure component on VMware Cloud on AWS.

Program Overview

There are two ways to test existing applications or infrastructure components with VMware Cloud on AWS: through our Real VMC capabilities or through a dedicated development VMware Cloud on AWS instance purchased at a discounted rate.

Benefits

Upon successful testing and submission of the exit survey, VMware will consider the partner application/infrastructure component tested on VMware on AWS and partners will be able to take advantage of related go-to-market benefits. These benefits include:

• VMware Solution Exchange Listing
• Press Releases
• Solution Briefs

 

Requirements

In order to utilize the no-charge environments, partners must:

• Be an active member of the TAP program.
• Complete the testing application. Please contact vmcisv@vmware.com to request the testing application.
• Publish the tested solution on the VMware Solution Exchange Marketplace (VSX).

In order request a dedicated development instance at a discounted rate, partners must:

• Be an active member of the TAP program.
• Purchase the service – the cluster cannot be funded via MDF.
• Complete the testing application prior to purchasing their dedicated development instance, unless they already went through the no charge VMware Cloud on AWS testing process.
• Use the dedicated development instance for joint VMware and Partner solution development and testing. These instances/pricing are not available for POCs or production usage and are subject to current NFR partner policies.
• Publish the tested solution on the VMware Solution Exchange Marketplace (VSX).

Getting Started

To get started, email vmcisv@vmware.com to request an online form for each application/infrastructure component you wish to test.

VMware Partner Application Software Integration Program

Partners can take advantage of VMware's flexible and cost lowering platforms for testing, selling and delivering their applications. Customers have an improved experience using applications that have successfully been validated on these VMware platforms

The VMware Partner Application Software Integration Program enables partners to validate their applications using VMware tests in a pre-configured and ready-to-use VMware test bed. For more information on how you can validate your applications on-prem, visit the VMware Partner Application Software Integration Program page.

VMware PKS Partner Application Program

Partners can take advantage of VMware's flexible and cost lowering platforms for testing, selling and delivering their cloud native applications. Customers have an improved experience using applications that have successfully been validated on the products in the VMware PKS product portfolio platforms

The VMware PKS Partner Application Program enables partners to validate their cloud native applications using VMware tests in a pre-configured and ready-to-use VMware test bed.

Support Statements

As an ISV within the TAP Program, partners are required to publish their public statement of support for their software applications. Not only does this inform customers that their application of choice is fully supported on the VMware virtual platform, but it also fulfills a TAP program requirement for partners that are software vendors.

Partners and non-partner software vendors who do not already have a support statement can draft and publish a public statement of support using the established VMware support statement template.

A list of approved support statements can be found on our Supported Business Applications page.
