AWS re:Invent 2025 - Agentic AI for VMware migrations with AWS Transform for VMware (MAM202)

Overview

This presentation at AWS re:Invent 2025 focused on the latest advancements in AWS Transform for VMware, a service that leverages agentic AI to streamline and automate the migration of VMware workloads to AWS. The key highlights of the session include:

Agentic AI for VMware Migrations

  • AWS Transform for VMware utilizes agentic AI, a novel approach that empowers software agents to make autonomous decisions and take actions during the migration process.
  • These agentic agents analyze the source VMware environment, plan the optimal migration strategy, and execute the migration with minimal human intervention.
  • The agentic agents continuously monitor the migration progress, identify and resolve issues, and adapt the plan as needed to ensure a successful and efficient migration.

Automated Discovery and Assessment

  • AWS Transform for VMware automatically discovers and assesses the VMware environment, including virtual machines, storage, networking, and dependencies.
  • The agentic agents analyze the discovered data to generate a comprehensive migration plan, including resource sizing, cost estimates, and potential risks.
  • This assessment phase provides customers with a detailed roadmap for their VMware to AWS migration, enabling them to make informed decisions and plan accordingly.

Intelligent Migration Execution

  • The agentic agents in AWS Transform for VMware orchestrate the entire migration process, including VM replication, data transfer, and resource provisioning on AWS.
  • The agents continuously monitor the migration progress, identify and resolve any issues, and automatically adjust the migration plan as needed.
  • This intelligent and adaptive approach ensures a seamless and reliable migration, minimizing downtime and disruption to the business.

Integrated Security and Compliance

  • AWS Transform for VMware integrates with AWS security services to ensure the migrated workloads adhere to the customer's security and compliance requirements.
  • The agentic agents automatically apply the necessary security controls, such as network configurations, IAM policies, and data encryption, during the migration process.
  • This integrated approach helps customers maintain a consistent security posture and simplifies the compliance requirements for their migrated workloads.

Scalable and Efficient Migration

  • AWS Transform for VMware is designed to handle large-scale VMware migrations, leveraging the scalability and performance of the AWS cloud.
  • The agentic agents can orchestrate the migration of hundreds or thousands of VMs simultaneously, optimizing resource utilization and minimizing the overall migration duration.
  • Customers can expect significant cost savings and improved operational efficiency by leveraging the automation and optimization capabilities of AWS Transform for VMware.

Real-world Case Studies

  • The presentation showcased several customer success stories, highlighting the benefits and outcomes of using AWS Transform for VMware for their VMware to AWS migrations.
  • One case study featured a large enterprise that migrated over 5,000 VMs to AWS using the agentic AI capabilities, reducing the overall migration time by 40% and achieving a 25% cost savings.
  • Another case study demonstrated how a healthcare organization was able to migrate its critical VMware workloads to AWS while maintaining strict compliance requirements, thanks to the integrated security features of AWS Transform for VMware.

Key Takeaways

  • AWS Transform for VMware leverages agentic AI to automate and streamline the migration of VMware workloads to AWS, reducing manual effort and improving efficiency.
  • The agentic agents handle the entire migration process, from discovery and assessment to execution and optimization, ensuring a reliable and successful migration.
  • Integrated security and compliance features help customers maintain a consistent security posture and simplify the compliance requirements for their migrated workloads.
  • Customers can expect significant cost savings, reduced migration times, and improved operational efficiency by using AWS Transform for VMware for their VMware to AWS migrations.
