Hello Experts,<br />
<br />
I know for a fact that the prefer and supported Hypervisor to host and allow self services for VMs is Microsoft HyperV, but also I was told that is possible to implement VMware and allow self service VMs provisioning in Azure.<br />
<br />
So, from a network, infrastructure, application point of view what needs to be done to integrate an existing Infrastructure into a Hybrid AD-Azure organization to allow self service provisioning of VMs and other virtual resources<br />
<br />
Please, indicate high level steps and also details to accomplish this approach

VMware and Azure

Microsoft Azure is a cloud computing platform and infrastructure for building, deploying and managing applications and services through datacenters. It provides both platform-as-a-service (PaaS) and infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) services and supports many different programming languages, tools and frameworks, including both Microsoft-specific and third-party software and systems. Cloud Services is a PaaS environment and can be used to create scalable applications and services; there are specific software development kits (SDKs) provided by Microsoft for Python, Java, Node.js and .NET. Azure also has file and storage services, data management, analytics and DNS services.

Azure

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
