Rafay is well suited for managing K8 deployments in on-prem deployments as well as AWS. Their support for GKE seems a bit limited.

With VMware cloud, each VMware Cloud customer must have an SDDC account(VMC) as well as a general AWS account. The two accounts must be linked for the service to work which is a tiresome thing to do for some clients but with IBM Cloud Private all these issues are solved.
