EVC features enable a user-configurable setting of a common CPU feature baseline across a cluster. This ensures that vMotion is seamless within a given family of CPU vendors—Intel or AMD.

Getting ready
Ensure you look at the VMware Compatibility Guide to validate the EVC modes supported by the CPU make and model of your server hardware. You could also download a utility from the VMware portal, available at https://www.vmware.com/support/shared_utilities.html. This utility provides a detailed report of hardware compatibility and software configuration compatibility with advanced VMware features.
