OK fair enough. Most public clouds don't use VMWare for cost reasons. It would be cheaper than some of the other commercial systems alluded to but still a significant cost compared with other virtualisation platforms. Its also using a proprietary format so you can't mix and match (whereas we are using RAW ISO files). Finally, you'll need VMWare qualified staff instead of regular sys admins. That's another incremental cost that isn't insignificant. Best wishes, Patrick
