Google Cloud VMware Engine, its application and workload migration tool for VMware customers, is now generally available in two U.S. regions.

The platform, which was built by Google to support the migration of VMware workloads to its public cloud, provides a fully-managed VMware Cloud Foundation stack. The service is certified by VMware and uses the company's HCX application mobility platform for cloud migration. It also runs in a dedicated environment accessible from the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Console.

The integration will enable VMware customers moving to the platform to take advantage of GCP's core competencies, including services like BigQuery, Cloud Operations, Cloud Storage, Anthos, and Cloud AI, wrote June Yang, GM of Google Cloud, in an earlier blog post.

Once customers have migrated their workloads to GCP, they can also take advantage of third-party storage, backup, and disaster recovery services from NetApp, Veeam, Zerto, Cohesity, and Dell Technologies.

Billing, identity management, access control, and support are all handled by Google Cloud Console.

Google Cloud VMware Engine is currently available in GCP's U.S.-east4 and U.S.-west2, however Google plans to expand the availability of the service in the second half of 2020.

While today's announcement marks the latest integration between VMware and GCP, it is far from the first. Over the past few years, VMware has steadily deepened its integrations with all of the major cloud providers, including Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and now GCP.

Nearly a year ago, VMware announced plans to support workloads running on GCP through CloudSimple. Google subsequently acquired CloudSimple the same year.

It isn't just VMware's virtualization services making their way to Google Cloud either.

Alongside the general availability of VMware Engine, VMware's VeloCloud SD-WAN platform also made an appearance in the GCP Marketplace. VeloCloud is now available in AWS, Azure, and GCP's respective market places.

And in May, Dell Technologies, which owns an 81% stake in VMware, also announced a partnership with the cloud provider.
