vmware migration

About this tag
The vmware migration tag on WindowsForum.com covers the process of moving virtualized workloads from VMware vSphere environments to alternative platforms, with a strong focus on Microsoft Azure Local and Amazon AWS. Recent discussions highlight how AWS Elastic VMware Service now includes Windows Server licensing entitlements to reduce migration friction, while Microsoft Azure Local offers an on-premises Azure control plane for sovereignty and low latency. Azure Migrate now supports agentless migration of VMware VMs to Azure Local with IP retention. The tag also addresses migration strategies for Windows Server 2025 and tools like RiverMeadow for AWS Outposts, reflecting the industry shift away from VMware following Broadcom's acquisition.
