End-to-end automation

Automated inventory and dependency mapping

AWS Transform for VMware agent automatically discovers and collects detailed information about your environment, including workloads, application dependencies, server specifications and network configurations. Reduce manual effort and establish a foundation for confident transformation planning.

Intelligent transformation plans

AI-driven recommendations build transformation plans tailored to your environment, business goals, and application dependencies. Reduce migration risk and accelerate time to value as AWS Transform analyzes application dependencies to group workloads into optimized migrations waves. Through flexible, conversational workflows, get customized migration plans that meet your needs and preferences.

Simplified migration with automated server rehosting

AWS Transform for VMware accelerates your network migration by automatically converting on-premises VMware networking into cloud-native AWS infrastructure in minutes, not months. This service intelligently analyzes your network topology and generates ready-to-deploy infrastructure-as-code (IaC) that follows AWS networking best practices, making your cloud journey uncomplicated and secure.

AWS Transform takes your source servers and converts them to run natively on AWS, handling compatibility requirements and optimization for AWS infrastructure. With automated replication, testing, and cutover, you can reduce migration time and eliminate manual errors without disrupting your applications.

Real-time, collaborative web experience

A unified, web-based workspace brings teams to collaborate in real time, guided by generative AI agents that maintain consistent interaction throughout the migration journey. Modify plans as needed, repeat discovery steps to accommodate infrastructure changes, and skip unnecessary steps. Built-in logic protects your completed work throughout the process. Accelerate planning with the flexibility to adapt, resolve issues faster, and align all stakeholders for seamless transformation.
