VMware Cloud on AWS allows customers to migrate VMware vSphere-based workloads to a VMware-managed SDDC running on AWS. But what’s the best way to manage migrating to AWS while minimizing disruption and maximizing return on investment? Learn how the “Eviden Approach” of addressing cloud migrations to VMware Cloud on AWS has been specifically developed and optimized to address complex cloud migrations.

AWS Graviton processors are designed to deliver the best price performance for your cloud workloads running in Amazon EC2 and the most cost-effective and performant choice for graph database workloads running Neo4j. Tests have shown that deploying Neo4j with AWS Graviton-based instances results in cost savings of up to 15% as well as a boost for write performance of up to 146% over equivalent Intel-based instances.

Telecom operators are increasingly migrating to AWS and cost savings is one of the primary drivers. Learn how DigitalRoute’s benchmarks show that by migrating to AWS and taking advantage of services like AWS Fargate and AWS Graviton, telecom operators can retain their on-premises performance while seeing cost reductions when deploying the Usage Engine Private Edition on AWS. DigitalRoute is collaborating with AWS to enable telecom and communication service providers.

Workday helps government agencies streamline and standardize administrative processes, gain visibility across the organization, and adapt to changes quickly. Learn how Workday Enterprise Management Platform on AWS providers innovative features like scalability, high availability, seamless deployment with zero downtime on the cloud, flexible reporting, real-time monitoring capabilities, and a security and compliance offering tailored for public sector customers.

Atlassian Confluence lets you create, capture, and collaborate on projects or ideas while creating and sharing knowledge articles with your colleague and organization. Learn how to use an AWS Lambda function to customize Amazon CloudWatch alarm notifications and embed an Atlassian Confluence knowledge article within it. We’ll also explore the option to build a pipeline to carry the metrics notification from source instance to CloudWatch and Amazon SNS.

In August 2023, AWS participated as a Global Diamond Sponsor at VMware Explore US 2023. Alongside AWS Partner VMware, the event highlighted our commitment to aiding customers in their digital transformation journey. From the AWS booth to sponsored sessions, our presence at VMware Explore showcased how customers can achieve a faster, safer, and more cost-effective cloud journey with VMware Cloud on AWS. Learn about the exciting announcements and access sessions on demand.

Last year, we announced Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP integration with VMware Cloud on AWS, and introduced support for single-Availability Zone deployments. Previously, AWS Transit Gateway has been a requirement of the solution, providing customers with flexibility with connecting their file systems to their VMware Cloud on AWS SDDCs. Now, we are excited to announce the removal of AWS Transit Gateway as a requirement from the solution. Instead, we are adding support for virtual private cloud (VPC) peering.

Monitoring and managing cloud-based resources is crucial for maintaining performance, troubleshooting issues, and ensuring the health of your infrastructure. Learn about the integration of Amazon CloudWatch with VMware Cloud on AWS with a focus on monitoring the workload of virtual machines. We’ll elaborate on the benefits of integrating CloudWatch with other AWS services as well as third-party services like ServiceNow ITSM tool and IBM Netcool.

Generative AI and large language models (LLMs) such as AI21 Labs’ Jurassic models are reshaping how we engage with information. This post walks through using the Jurassic-2 (J2) large language model and how to consume the model via an AWS Lambda API endpoint. We’ll also discuss how to make calls to the J2 model via the publicly available Jurassic-2 Python SDK. AI21 Labs is an AWS Partner and leader in generative AI and LLMs, revolutionizing the way people read and write.

The advent of automated infrastructure provisioning and cloud-based remote backup and recovery solutions has empowered organizations to embrace advanced data protection and backup strategies tailored for cloud-native workloads. Explore the architectural design and considerations customers should consider before adopting AWS Backup using private interface VPC endpoints (powered by AWS PrivateLink) to protect workloads running on VMware Cloud on AWS.
