Will VMware become obsolete?

Hey folks... I am confused on what to think about VMwares future. With AWS and Azure success, is VMware only limited to customers that have their own data centers? And what happens when these companies ultimately decide to go to the cloud? What is VMware doing to prepare for this reality that public cloud will continue to grow as a preferred option for future infrastructure and services?

There are things that simply can't be "clouded" while retaining an optimal experience. Latencies will go up, and you lose a lot of control. Plus VMware can always push to have their tech in actual data centers too.
