Oracle became the latest public cloud provider to partner with VMware. The move means VMware’s software-defined data center (SDDC) stack will now run on all major clouds including Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, IBM Cloud, and now Oracle’s Generation 2 Cloud.

The new partnership pairs VMware Cloud Foundation with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and allows customers to migrate VMware workloads between their on-premises data centers and Oracle’s public cloud using consistent infrastructure and tools. Oracle will also provide technical support for Oracle software running in VMware environments on-premises data centers and Oracle-certified cloud environments.

“This is made possible by Layer 2 networking in the cloud and our bare metal service,” said Don Johnson, EVP of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, in a statement. “Customers will be able to extend existing VMware investments, processes, and tools while benefitting from the security and performance of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.”

Customers can also use Oracle’s expanding global footprint of cloud regions without needing to establish their own data centers. Yesterday at Oracle OpenWorld the vendor announced plans to launch 20 new Oracle Cloud regions by the end of 2020, which will bring its total to 36. This expansion includes regions in new countries and dual, geographically separated regions in the United States, Canada, Brazil, United Kingdom, European Union, Japan, South Korea, Australia, India, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Israel, and new government regions in the U.K. and Israel.

VMware, meanwhile, at its annual conference last month announced several updates to its cloud provider partner program, which now counts 4,300 cloud providers in more than 120 countries. This included an integration with VMware’s container orchestrator, Enterprise PKS, which means cloud providers can offer containers-as-a-service.

While it’s latest Oracle partnership ties VMware to four hyperscale clouds — IBM was its first back in 2016 — the virtualization giant makes no qualms about playing favorites with AWS. “VMware and AWS have a very special relationship,” said Mark Lohmeyer, SVP and GM of VMware’s Cloud Platforms business unit in an earlier interview. “AWS is our primary and preferred public cloud partner, and what we’ve built together is incredibly unique.”
