VMware migration
Migrating VMware workloads to Amazon EC2 has significant advantages, among them higher scalability, improved performance, and lower operating costs.
VMware price increases: Migrate to a cost-effective AWS solution now
The VMware Cloud on AWS service has until recently only been available directly via VMware. There is a risk of significant cost increases for new licenses, and there are other reasons why it is worth thinking about switching to the cloud:
- The cost of VMware has increased significantly, and there may also be additional price increases in the future.
- Conventional VMware-based applications cannot compete with cloud solutions in terms of scalability, flexibility, replication, and scope of service.
- Skaylink and AWS offer additional support to reduce the cost of migration.
Migration process
By and large, a VMware migration works just like any other typical migration; it’s just that you need to apply additional expertise on VMware:
- Perform a VMware assessment of your existing environment (using PowerCLI and tools such as RVTools, REST API and vRealize Operations).
- Assign the results to EC2 instance types.
- Use an application analysis to gain insight into grouping, and consider alternatives as well as possibly the use of native AWS services.
- Consider whether you would like to initially migrate installed database engines, such as PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, MSSQL or Oracle, in the direction of Amazon RDS.
- Migrate VMware Tanzu to Amazon EKS.
