Amazon EVS explained: Run your VMware workloads on AWS | Amazon Web Services
Wondering whether cloud migration means leaving your VMware tools behind? This video shows how Amazon Elastic VMware Service runs VMware Cloud Foundation directly in your Amazon VPC, so you move to the cloud without refactoring or retraining. Watch the video to see how. An AWS Cloud solutions provider, Integral & Open Systems,Inc is available to guide you every step of the way.
What is Amazon Elastic VMware Service (Amazon EVS)?
Amazon Elastic VMware Service (Amazon EVS) lets you run VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) directly inside your Amazon VPC. In practice, that means you can:
- Use the same VMware tools, skills, and software you already rely on.
- Run those VMware workloads on AWS infrastructure without having to replatform or refactor.
- Tap into AWS scale, agility, and elasticity while keeping a familiar VMware operating model.
Amazon EVS is designed to extend and expand your existing VMware environment into the AWS cloud, so you can reimagine how you place and grow workloads without starting from scratch.
Do I need to change or refactor my VMware workloads to use Amazon EVS?
With Amazon EVS, you can bring your existing VMware workloads to AWS without replatforming or refactoring. Key points:
- Your current VMware skills and operational processes remain relevant.
- You can continue using your familiar VMware software stack.
- Workloads can be moved to AWS while keeping their architecture and configuration largely unchanged.
This approach helps you rethink your cloud strategy by combining the VMware environment you know with the flexibility of AWS, while reducing the amount of upfront change required.
How is Amazon EVS managed and who is it for?
Amazon EVS is used by a wide range of organizations that already run VMware and want to extend into the cloud. This includes:
- Fast-growing startups looking for agility and quick scaling.
- Large enterprises aiming to lower costs and modernize gradually.
- Government agencies that need a controlled, familiar virtualization platform on AWS.
For management, you have two main options:
- Self-manage your Amazon EVS environment using your in-house VMware expertise.
- Work with AWS Partners for a more fully managed experience.
In both cases, you are running VMware Cloud Foundation directly in your Amazon VPC, while leveraging AWS to be more agile, manage costs, and innovate at a pace that fits your organization.
