What are the migration options for VMware workloads to AWS?
AWS offers four primary migration options for agencies transitioning from VMware: 1) Rehost Workloads to EC2, which involves a 'lift and shift' approach with some infrastructure changes; 2) Replatform Workloads to Containers, enabling the use of AWS Elastic Container Service (ECS) or Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) for improved application portability and scalability; 3) Replatform Workloads to Managed Services, which requires moving applications to managed services like managed databases; and 4) Refactor Workloads to Native Services, where applications are fully rewritten or modified for cloud-native components.
How can AWS benefit my agency?
AWS is recognized as a leader in cloud infrastructure, offering operational resiliency and a wide range of use cases at scale. Agencies can benefit from continuous improvement and a focus on cost reductions, ensuring a favorable price-to-performance ratio.
