A Canadian investment management firm needed to exit VMware on a hard deadline. See how they ran two parallel teams on AWS Transform, with AWS Professional Services, to get there safely.

Storage is a crucial component of every enterprise application, and it has the potential to be the most complex part of any cloud migration. Many migration approaches work around that complexity by starting with compute and network, leaving storage as an afterthought and this can lead to storage becoming a late-stage bottleneck. In addition to […]

AccessDenied during an AWS Transform migration is often a missing or incorrect tag. This post shows you how to diagnose and resolve it.

Pratikkumar Chunawala, Principal Consultant, Professional Services, Amazon Web Services (AWS) Introduction This post presents a diagnostic framework for sustaining migration velocity, covering the velocity curve model, two structural forces that cause deceleration, and three leading indicators to detect the pattern early. Migration velocity stalls between waves 20 and 35 in most large-scale programs, not because […]

Most enterprise engineering organizations have deployed AI tooling broadly across teams. The per-team productivity gains are real. But end-to-end improvement hasn’t followed. Backlogs aren’t shrinking. Cycle times haven’t compressed. Tech debt is still growing. The tools aren’t broken. The problem is structural: each team accelerated independently, and the spaces between them are now the entire […]

Increasing your cluster density by using Memory Tiering within the Amazon Elastic VMware Service (Amazon EVS) can help drive down the costs of your AWS infrastructure. Amazon EVS now supports VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) 9.0 and 9.1 . In VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) 9.0 Memory Tiering was introduced, which is a new feature within ESX […]

Many organizations run business-critical workloads on VMware, and most know that a single outage can disrupt operations, impact customers, and put revenue and reputation at risk. Disaster recovery (DR) is the solution: a secondary environment ready to take over when the primary site goes down. But building one has traditionally meant heavy upfront investment, long […]

NSX Federation is a VMware networking capability that connects multiple NSX environments under a single Global Manager control plane. It extends overlay networking, security […]

When enterprises embark on their cloud migration journey, they bring years of operational maturity from running their workloads on-premises: separate environments for development, testing, and production, often segmented by business unit, with dedicated infrastructure, network boundaries, and identity controls for each. Translating these well-established patterns into cloud-native constructs like account structures, organizational units (OUs), and […]
