20 Overview Companies can turbo-charge their value creation by using VMware Cloud on AWS for development. Using VMware Cloud on AWS, a company can use Chef to create as many developer environments as needed. What s more, developers can seamlessly move their workloads into production in the Software Defined Data Center, since VMware Cloud uses the same APIs as on-premise VMware based Data Center. The ability to have a development environment in the cloud that mirrors your production environment in the Data Center will increase your team s velocity while InSpec to verify compliance automatically across both cloud and data center environments keep it secure.
