What are the migration options for VMware workloads to AWS?
AWS offers four main migration options for agencies transitioning from VMware: 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; 3) Replatform Workloads to Managed Services, which requires changes to move applications to managed services; and 4) Refactor Workloads to Native Services, where applications are fully rewritten or modified for cloud-native components.
