Our Pragmatic Approach to Migrating VMware to AWS

Assess

Perform a thorough assessment and equivalency workshop to align VMware capabilities with AWS services, emphasizing critical functionality and high availability requirements.

Align

Facilitate an onboarding session to bridge knowledge gaps, introduce your team to AWS best practices, and apply Infrastructure-as-Code and resiliency planning to mirror VMware feature sets.

Architect

Showcase key AWS operations including lift‑and‑shift migrations and post‑migration management, design a tailored target AWS architecture, and build a strategic roadmap for the initial wave of workload migrations from VMware to AWS.

From Concept to Impact

Our approach takes a collaborative, hands-on path to simplify your migration journey. It begins with a comprehensive assessment of your existing environment and tailored cloud equivalence workshops to map essential VMware functionalities to AWS services seamlessly.

We guide your team in adopting key cloud practices, including autoscaling, translating VMware automation into Infrastructure-as-Code with CloudFormation or Terraform, and leveraging managed services like RDS to reduce operational overhead. By the end of the engagement, your team will be fully prepared to execute the migration confidently and efficiently.

Frequently Asked Questions

We strive to stay curious in everything we do. Below are some commonly asked questions gathered from our clients and industry peers to help address key considerations and provide greater clarity.

The acquisition of VMware by Broadcom has created uncertainty around VMware’s product roadmap, licensing structures, and support models. Businesses may face potential licensing changes, slower innovation, or a shift in strategic focus toward hardware offerings.

For organizations dependent on VMware, migrating workloads to AWS offers a way to mitigate these risks. AWS delivers a predictable, scalable cloud environment with a comprehensive ecosystem of services that can replace or enhance existing VMware capabilities. Moving to AWS enables businesses to maintain operational efficiency, retain control over their technology roadmap, and adapt quickly to industry changes while ensuring business continuity.

Absolutely! Agentclab’s cloud experts can adapt the migration strategy to handle both traditional VMware workloads and VMware Cloud (VMC) environments, ensuring a seamless transition to AWS.
