VMware Cloud on AWS service provides simple yet flexible options to consume VMware’s powerful software capabilities and AWS’s elastic, bare-metal infrastructure as a combined offering with support included. This offering can be purchased on-demand or as 1-year or 3-year standard subscription or as 1-year or 3-year flexible subscription. With the flexible subscription, customers are entitled to terminate their existing flexible term subscription (1-year or 3-year commitment) early and utilize the remaining value for a purchase of a new 1-year or 3-year subscription. If you choose the on-demand option, you will be billed at the end of the month in arrears, and if you choose the 1-year or 3-year standard subscription option, you can choose to prepay upfront or pay monthly. Prepay longer-term subscription of hosts gives you up to 50% cost saving compared to on-demand hosts consumed over the equivalent period. This pricing is MSRP. The minimum required configuration for the production environment is 2 hosts per cluster for I3en.metal and I4i.metal host type. Above the minimum, hosts can be added or removed in 1 unit increments.
Please note that the Single Host option is not available for i3en.metal host type.

What is the difference between on-demand and subscription pricing? On-Demand Pricing
On-Demand consumption allows you to pay for physical hosts by the hour. There are no upfront costs, and you have the flexibility to scale the number of hosts up or down without long-term commitments. You only pay for each hour that the host is active in your account. If you choose the on-demand option, you will be billed at the end of the month in arrears. Subscription Pricing Prepay longer-term subscription of hosts gives you up to 50% cost saving compared to on-demand hosts consumed over the equivalent period. Host subscriptions are available in 1-year or 3-year terms with standard or flexible subscription option. If you choose standard 1-year or 3-year subscription option, you can choose to prepay upfront or pay monthly. To avail the new flexible subscription model, customers must purchase new flexible 1-year or 3-year term commitments, paid upfront. They will not be able to change previously purchased non-flexible 1-year or 3-year term commitments.
