Migrating VMware workloads from your data center to AWS isn’t just a lift-and-shift,
it’s an opportunity to optimize cost, security, reliability, and performance at scale. Our hands-on workshop blends AWS best practices with your business goals to deliver aseamless, future-ready cloud infrastructure.
Inventory your VMware estate.
Select an optimalmigration strategy: Rehost (VM Import/MGN),Relocate (VMware HCX), Replatform, or Refactor guided by AWS’s 7 Rs.
Key Deliverables: Migration strategy, target-state architecture, measurable business objectives
Build your landing zone based on the AWS Migration Lens and Well-Architected Framework, covering Security, Reliability, Operational Excellence, Performance, Cost, Sustainability.
Set identity, networking (VPC, Direct Connect/VPN), and IAM policies with no silos, complete guardrails.
Key Deliverables: AWS account structure, connectivity plan, security model, cost controls
Leverage AWS Application Migration Service (MGN) with replication agents and AWS Transform for automated discovery, mapping, and cutover planning.
Execute test and final migrations using chosen tools (VM Import, HCX, MGN).
Key Deliverables: Wave-based migration plan, test runs, validated EC2 workloads.
Wave-based migration plan, test runs, validated EC2 workloads.
Post-migration, right-size EC2 instances, adopt auto-scaling, set up CloudWatch and CloudTrail monitoring, and enforce well-architected best practices for cost and performance efficiency.
Key Deliverables: Optimization roadmap, monitoring dashboard, governance processes.
Hypershift approaches every migration with a proven methodology grounded in AWS’s Migration Acceleration Program and the AWS Well-Architected Framework. We guide clients through every phase, from assessment and mobilization to migration and modernization while applying best practices across all six pillars. Our use of automation and AWS-native tools like MGN and Transform for VMware simplifies complex tasks like dependency mapping, network design, and wave orchestration, making the process faster and more predictable.
Outcomes You Can Expect: With Hypershift, you gain a clear migration roadmap aligned to business goals, not just technical milestones. Our approach accelerates timelines with automation and streamlined workflows, reducing risk and minimizing downtime along the way. Your new AWS environment will be built with strong identity controls, encryption, monitoring, and audit capabilities ensuring secure, compliant operations from day one. And by right-sizing resources and applying built-in cost controls, we help you operate efficiently without sacrificing performance.
