Amazon Elastic VMware Service
#233 · Level 4 · Operations and specialized areas · Migration and transferConcept
Section titled “Concept”With Amazon Elastic VMware Service, virtual machines running on VMware can run in a VMware environment on AWS, with almost no changes. VMware is widely used software for running many virtual machines (VMs) on one physical server. In this service, VMware Cloud Foundation runs on EC2 bare metal servers inside the customer’s own VPC. So teams can keep working with the VMware tools and methods they already know. Because it is in the same VPC, it can also connect easily to other AWS services.
