A reported spike in costs following Broadcom’s acquisition of VMware, as highlighted in a recent Business Insider article. According to the article, a significant 40% of VMware customers are considering moving away from the platform due to these rising expenses. As organizations grapple with the implications of these price increases, the appeal of transitioning from VMware to Native AWS has never been greater.
