Organizations running migration projects don’t always operate in a single shared language. Migration teams span geographies, and the people closest to the workloads are often the ones who understand dependencies, business context, and operational risk. They need to work in the language they’re most comfortable with. Today, we’re announcing local language support for the AWS Transform migrations […]

Introduction Amazon Elastic VMware Service (Amazon EVS) lets you run VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) directly on AWS bare-metal EC2 instances within your Amazon VPC. With EVS, you get the operational consistency of the VMware stack you already know, combined with the elasticity, security, and breadth of AWS cloud services. VCF 9 is the latest release […]

Introduction If your organization runs VMware workloads on-premises or in another cloud and needs to migrate to AWS without disrupting operations, Experience-Based Acceleration (EBA) provides a proven path to do it fast. Using a structured three-day EBA workshop with AWS, organizations have moved multiple critical applications to AWS in days. Their engineers built hands-on migration […]

Traditional VMware migrations have long suffered from fragmentation and inflexibility. Enterprises had to cobble together disconnected tools for discovery, planning, network configuration, and rehosting, each requiring specialized expertise and lengthy manually orchestrated handoffs. These rigid, rules-based tools can’t adapt to each customer’s unique environment, resulting in compounding costs, expensive customizations, and timelines that stretch into […]

Migrating and modernizing Microsoft and VMware workloads on AWS requires the right strategies, tools, and real-world validation. This playlist brings together top sessions from AWS re:Invent 2025 — covering agentic AI-powered automation with AWS Transform, running VMware natively on AWS, and lessons from customers who’ve done it at scale — with practical guidance across every […]

For years, cloud migration projects have been slowed by fragmented, manual processes. Discovery required deploying multiple tools and navigating lengthy approvals. Assessments relied on manual analysis or tools requiring significant time. Migration itself depended on manual scripting for wave planning, network conversion, and server orchestration. This end-to-end journey often stretched across many months, delaying cloud […]

The AWS Transform discovery tool is an Open Virtual Appliance (OVA) that you deploy in your VMware infrastructure. This tool replaces the Application Discovery Service Agentless Collector. The discovery tool operates as a self-contained application that can be deployed on-premises without requiring cloud connectivity or external dependencies. This architecture makes it suitable for highly regulated […]

When deploying Amazon Elastic VMware Service (EVS), the NSX Edge Cluster deploys independently of the Software Defined Data Center (SDDC) Manager, preventing access to Application Virtual Networks for optional VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) tools such as VCF Logs, VCF Operations and VCF Automation. This post outlines a solution enabling Application Virtual Networks by deploying an […]
