Migrate VMWare to Kubernetes

Traditional Migration Approach

Companies have been migrating VMware to public clouds for over a decade.

The first migrations were described as "Lift and Shift", where VMware VMs were relocated from a private datacenter to a public cloud provider.

Many were disappointed with this approach as it didn't change or improve operations. It ended up costing more over time because of the recurring cloud consumption model.

Modernization Needs

Recent events have re-ignited the efforts to migrate VMware to cloud.

Customers are looking to do more than just relocate; they also want to modernize, and improve operations and cost at the same time.

Traditional Modernization Challenges

Historically, reaping all these benefits required hiring a lot of software developers to re-write (refactor) application code.

Leveraging Open Source Innovation

Recent cloud-native open source innovation allows VMWare (or any other virtualization) migration to cloud and modern container infrastructure without hiring and re-writing code.

Kubernetes Standardization

This allows your IT to standardize on Kubernetes 'virtual data center' approach. It improves your operations, resilience and scale.

Flexible Modernization

While these apps remain unchanged, you can refactor them at your convenience, over time.

With KAOPS' cloud native migration approach, you can:

• Reduce or eliminate VMWare license costs

• Reduce datacenter footprint

• Migrate workloads to cloud or hybrid cloud

• Improve VM resilence/reliability

• Control cloud spend by autoscaling/bursting
