I don't believe so. It can go between vCD and vSphere, and to vCloud Air. I don't believe is supports AWS or other public clouds.

Connector is only to move workload between Vmware environments and VMware backed public cloud providers. You might find tools or companies that help you move workloads from Vmware to amazon.

For moving workloads between different platforms and cloud seamlessly then you have to use a third party product like Docker for Applications.  It is a containerized system that lets you move a VM or app in between pretty much any cloud provider.  VMware, Amazon and Google support Docker.  Otherwise it is a little bit harder as everyone uses proprietary systems so it requires some work to be able to move VM's.

You may want to check out www.ravellosystems.com, as they allow you to easily upload VM Images without any change to multiple cloud providers.
