What are the migration options for VMware workloads to AWS?
Your agency has four primary options for migrating VMware workloads to AWS: 1) Rehost Workloads to EC2, which involves a 'lift and shift' approach with some infrastructure changes; 2) Replatform Workloads to Containers, moving to AWS Elastic Container Service (ECS) or Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) for improved application portability and scalability; 3) Replatform Workloads to Managed Services, which requires adjustments to transition applications to managed services; 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 provides a robust cloud infrastructure with operational resiliency and a wide variety of use cases. It has a history of continuous improvement and focuses on customer cost reductions, ensuring your agency receives a favorable price-to-performance ratio. Additionally, partnering with an AWS provider like TD SYNNEX Public Sector offers assessment services, training for your teams, and ongoing managed services to support your AWS environment.
