Cloud Lab Environment for Company
We are a large organization that have 114 ESXi host 875 VM's and still a hand full of physical servers as well. We are mainly a Windows OS organization. We are in the process of migrating users to office 365 and also getting our feet wet with Azure storage. I know with Azure you can convert VMware VM's to hyper-v with native tools which are being deprecated and third party tools. Vmware also has cloud offers with vCloud which I believe was just sold.
We are looking to move away for an onside Lab and place it in the cloud to have hardware cost and maintenance. Our core Vm's are backed up via Dell vRanger including our DC's. We are looking to setup an isolated lab environment in the cloud that is 100% isolated from production. I know others are doing the same thing an interest to see how others company have done with who have a large VMware presence which keep cost in mind since it is a lab environment.

Thanks Again, great information as always
You'll have to convert VMware VMs for Azure and Amazon AWS, but with Ravello and VMware vSphere on Amazon, you'll be abler just to upload your VMs.
and you may find it easier using the later.
