Oracle Cloud VMware Solution Supports Broadcom’s BYOL Model
- Services: Oracle Cloud VMware Solution
- Release Date: March 18, 2026
Oracle Cloud VMware Solution (OCVS) now supports the VMware Bring Your Own License (BYOL) model. This feature enables customers to run VMware workloads natively on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) using Broadcom’s Metal as a Service licensing framework. Customers purchase VMware software licenses directly from Broadcom based on OCPUs or tebibytes (TiBs). Then, customers register and allocate those licenses on OCVS. This model also applies to VMware add-ons such as vDefend Firewall and Avi Load Balancer. Customers can seamlessly provision and manage these licenses alongside OCI infrastructure for flexible VMware operations. You can read more here: VMware Solution License Management.
