AWS Transform adds new agentic AI capabilities for enterprise VMware migrations

AWS Transform adds powerful new agentic AI capabilities to automate VMware migrations to AWS. The migration agent collaborates with migration teams to understand business priorities and intelligently plan and migrate hundreds of applications spanning thousands of servers, significantly reducing manual effort, time, and complexity.

The agent can now discover your on-premises environment and prioritize applications for migration using the AWS Transform discovery tool, inventory data from various third-party discovery tools, and unstructured data such as documents, notes, and business rules. It analyzes infrastructure, database, and application details, maps dependencies, and generates migration plans grouped by business and technical priorities such as ownership, department, function, subnet, and operating systems. It generates networks with hub-and-spoke and isolated network configurations, provides flexible IP address management options, deploys to multiple accounts, generates network configurations for your AWS landing zones, and migrates from source environments like NSX, Palo Alto, Fortigate, and Cisco ACI. The agent migrates servers to AWS securely and iteratively in waves and provides clear progress updates throughout the deployment. It also migrates Windows and Linux x86 servers, hypervisors such as VMware, HyperV, Nutanix, and KVM, and bare-metal physical environments to multiple target accounts. Throughout your migration, you can ask the agent questions as it guides your decisions, whether that’s repeating or skipping steps, or adjusting plans. To simplify internal approvals, the agent also generates a detailed report with the migration plan and mapping of networks, servers, and applications.

With AWS Transform, you can accelerate time to value, lower risk, and reduce the complexity of VMware migrations. These new capabilities are available in all AWS Regions where AWS Transform is offered, with support for migrating servers and networks to 16 AWS Regions.
