When will the service be available for production workloads?

for existing customers willing to migrate their current VMware on OVHcloud environments to VCD.

How does this offer compare with VMware on OVHcloud offering?
Just like other VMware offers, VMware Cloud Director on OVHcloud provides customers with a Managed VMware virtualization stack on one of our Datacenter.
The key difference resides in the fact that the underlying compute infrastructure is mutualized across multiple customers, hence fully managed by OVHcloud through vSphere.
As a consequence, customers do not access vSphere anymore, but manage their pool of resources & virtual machine via the VCD tenant portal.
To know more about VCD tenant portal capabilities, please check the online documentation.
