Datacenter Evacuation

Why is Datacenter Evacuation the top use case for VMware Cloud on AWS?


Short timelines

Limited skillsets to re-architect applications

Unknown dependencies and workloads

Don’t know where to begin

Getting out of the Datacenter Business

Cloud First Strategy

Termination of Contracts

Lease expiration

Cloud Migration Pain PointsYour move to the cloud may be a struggle because you need to:

Re-factor / re-architectapplications for public cloud infrastructure

Disrupt business critical applications

while migrating

Validate applications are meeting

their business requirements in the new environment

Operate with new skills, tools,

governance and security models


Inability to leverage existing skill sets and tools

Inability to strategically decide where to run applications depending on business needs

Need for re-architecting applications

Differences in operational model, established governance, availability, security and control policies

Inability to leverage native cloud services to extend value of enterprise applications in an integrated way

Challenges in cloud migration and resulting outcomes

PAIN POINTSSPEED COMPLEXITY RISK COST

OUTCOME


Data Center Wide Migrations

App-Specific Migrations

Infrastructure Refresh Triggered

Cloud migration to fit your needs

• Tier 1 enterprise apps (e.g., Oracle, SQL, Exchange)

• Moving specific apps closer to native AWS services

• Data intensive apps

• Tier 2-3 apps

• Data center modernization

• On-premises HW End of life

• vSphere version end of support

• Cloud-first mandate

• Data center consolidations

• DC/Colo End of Lease

• M&A activities


Typical One-time activities that increase cost for the migration duration.

• Planning and Assessment• Duplicate Environments• Staff Training• Migration Consulting• 3rd Party Tooling• Lease Penalties

Allows developers to focus on business capabilities while infrastructure takes care of application availability

Stretched Clusters for VMware Cloud on AWS

• Building on intrinsic vSphere HA as well as automated host failure remediation

• Zero RPO high availability across AZs

• Built-in infrastructure layer – no necessity to architect in the application

• Stretched cluster with common logical networks with vSphere HA/DRS enabled

• Synchronous writes between AZs for mission-critical applications

• If one AZ fails, it is simply treated as a vSphere HA event and VM is restarted in the other AZ

Data and Dependencies

Which data is important for workload migrations?

How are dependencies discovered and mapped for your application today?


VMC Sizer

SDDC

Server Configuration

Cluster Level Configuration

I/O profile

VM profile

Server Details

INPUT OUTPUT

Goal: Recommend the Most Optimized VMC SDDC Configuration


Demo:VMware Cloud on AWS Sizer


Network Insight

Traffic analysis and micro-segmentation planning for VMC workloads

Migration planning fromon premises to VMC

Hybrid network path troubleshooting (VMC-to-On-Premises, gateways, VPN)

Network Analysis for VMware Cloud on AWS


Demo:VMware Network Insight


Other Migration Considerations

Physical Hardware

• Physical to Virtual Migration• Begin migration of virtual workloads which will free up capacity

• AWS Bare Metal Service• Co-locate equipment in close proximity

Active Directory/DNS/DHCP/Time Sync

• Use native cloud services where possible• Migrate into VMware Cloud on AWS

Load Balancing/Edge Security

• AWS Elastic Load Balancer• NSX Load Balancing powered by Avi Networks– Planned in future• Use virtual appliances in VMware Cloud on AWS


ToolsHow should the data and workloads be moved?

How do you choose the right tools for job?

Operational Considerations

During the migrations, what needs to be considered?

What happens after the migration?


During the Migration

Monitoring and Management

• Ensure monitoring tools are integrated with both environments• Integrate cloud monitoring and management with external tools

Networking

• Remove stretched networks after migrations are complete

• Reconfigure load balancers and other security appliances

Backup/DR

• Move backup tooling to the cloud environment• Setup cloud to cloud disaster recovery as needed• Perform full backups initially to begin new baseline
