Announcing Amazon Q Developer transformation capabilities for VMware (Preview)

Today, AWS announces the preview of Amazon Q Developer transformation capabilities for VMware, the first generative AI–powered assistant that can simplify and accelerate the migration and modernization of VMware workloads to Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2). These new capabilities help you streamline complex VMware transformation tasks, reducing the time and effort required to move VMware workloads to the cloud. Using advanced AI techniques to automate critical steps in the migration process, Amazon Q Developer helps accelerate your cloud journey, reduce costs, and drive innovation.

Amazon Q Developer transformation agents simplify and automate VMware transformation tasks including on-premises application data discovery, wave planning, network translation and deployment, and orchestration of the overall migration process. Two of the most challenging aspects of VMware transformations— wave planning and network translation— are now automated using VMware domain-expert agents and large language models (LLMs). These AI-powered tools convert VMware networking configurations and firewall rules into native AWS network constructs, significantly reducing complexity and potential errors. Importantly, Amazon Q Developer maintains a balance between automation and human oversight, proactively promoting user input at key decision points to ensure accuracy and control throughout the migration and modernization process.

The preview of Amazon Q Developer transformation capabilities for VMware is available in US East (N. Virginia) AWS region. To learn more about Amazon Q Developer and how it can accelerate your migration to AWS, visit Amazon Q Developer.
