AWS & DevOps services

VMware to AWS Migration

Evaluate and execute VMware-to-AWS paths with dependency discovery, licensing visibility, migration tooling, network continuity, and rollback planning.

What this service can cover

The exact implementation follows the environment and the signed scope. These are the technical workstreams most often composed for VMware to AWS Migration.

01

vSphere discovery

Map virtual machines, clusters, storage, network dependencies, performance, ownership, and lifecycle state.

02

Destination analysis

Compare rehost, replatform, retire, retain, and VMware-based options without assuming every VM belongs on EC2.

03

Replication and wave execution

Prepare AWS Application Migration Service or the selected path, test launches, cutover controls, and rollback.

04

Licensing and modernization

Keep operating-system, database, VMware, and commercial-software constraints visible while identifying next modernization steps.

What the client receives

  • VM inventory and disposition decisions
  • Destination and licensing decision record
  • Wave plan, runbooks, and test evidence
  • Cutover validation and next-step backlog
Delivery approach

From current state to client-owned handoff

01

Assess VMware estate

Inventory the VMware estate workloads, dependencies, data, access, operating constraints, and business windows that change the AWS path.

02

Design the AWS target

Define landing, identity, network, security, data, observability, workload treatment, acceptance, and rollback requirements.

03

Migrate in waves

Build prerequisites, rehearse where useful, move bounded VMware estate waves, and validate application, data, security, performance, and operations.

04

Stabilize and transfer

Close cutover issues, confirm monitoring and recovery, document ownership, and hand off decommissioning and follow-up work.

Scoping VMware to AWS Migration

Does every VMware workload move the same way?

No. Treatment follows application and data dependencies, supportability, risk, economics, operating goals, and the acceptable change window.

How is downtime handled?

The plan records the allowed interruption, replication or synchronization path, rehearsal, validation, rollback, communications, and accountable decision owner.

Does the scope include what happens after cutover?

Yes. The SOW defines stabilization, observability, recovery checks, documentation, ownership transfer, and any decommissioning or modernization backlog.

Bring the environment and the decision you are facing.
