Datacenter Evacuation Why is Datacenter Evacuation the top use case for VMware Cloud on AWS? # 9
Datacenter Evacuation Turning out the lights Datacenter Evacuation Getting out of the Datacenter Business Cloud First Strategy Termination of Contracts Lease expiration Turning out the lights Short timelines Limited skillsets to re -architect applications Unknown dependencies and workloads Don t know where to begin 10
Stretched Clusters for VMware Cloud on AWS Allows developers to focus on business capabilities while infrastructure takes care of application availability Building on proven vsphere HA as well as automated host failure remediation Zero RPO high availability across AZs Built into the infrastructure layer Common logical networks vsphere HA/DRS enabled Synchronous replication between AZs AZ failure is treated as a vsphere HA event and VMs are restarted in the other AZ AWS Availability Zone A VMware Cloud on AWS SDDC Stretched Clusters vsphere HA/DRS span across AZ NSX logical networks vsan stretched cluster AWS Availability Zone B AWS Region 11
Build a team Who needs to be involved for a datacenter migration? Which existing organizational silos are in your way? # 12
Building a Migration Team Infrastructure Administrators / Architecture Application Owners Networking & Security Support & Operations 13
Data and Dependencies Which data is important for workload migrations? How are dependencies discovered and mapped for your application today? # 14

Operational Considerations During the migrations, what needs to be considered? What happens after the migration? # 30
During the Migration Monitoring and Management Ensure monitoring tools are integrated with both environments Integrate cloud monitoring and management with external tools Networking Remove stretched networks after migrations are complete Reconfigure load balancers and other security appliances Backup/DR Move backup tooling to the cloud environment Setup cloud to cloud disaster recovery as needed Perform full backups initially to begin new baseline 31
