Accelerate your VMware migration journey with AWS Transform, the first agentic AI service for large-scale VMware workload migrations to Amazon EC2. Discover how to migrate from on-premises VMware infrastructure to a modernized, cloud-native architecture while overcoming challenges like evolving licensing models and vendor lock-in. Meet the team behind AWS Transform and see a live demonstration showcasing automated application discovery, dependency mapping, network translation, wave planning, and server migration with optimized EC2 instance selection. Learn practical approaches to streamline large-scale migrations and modernize VMware workloads to AWS with greater speed and confidence.
What this session is about
Playbook
Editorial commentary · what to actually do about this on Monday
The concept
Apply agentic AI to migration steps: discovery, dependency mapping, network translation, wave planning, cutover.
Why it matters
Broadcom's licensing changes have made VMware-on-prem economically unstable for many shops. Migration timelines that used to be optional are now urgent.
The hard parts
Discovery is the unsexy bottleneck. Most VMware estates have inaccurate inventories — the CMDB and reality diverged years ago.
Playbook moves
(1) Run discovery first; defer migration decisions until the dependency graph is verified. Don't trust the CMDB. (2) Quarantine "tier 0" workloads for human review; let agents handle the long tail. (3) Build the rollback plan before the cutover.
The surprise
Agent-driven migration shines on the *long tail* of small workloads, not the strategic flagship apps. Target tier-3/4 apps first to bank fast wins and build trust. The flagship workloads will need bespoke human attention regardless of tooling.
