VMware Aria Migration!

  

IT teams must decide not only where to deploy new workloads and applications, but also whether to transfer existing workloads and apps as organisations transition from a single dedicated infrastructure to a flexible multi-cloud approach. The latter offers a variety of difficulties in relation to the essential processes of analysing, planning, modernising, carrying out, and operationalizing the migration of workloads across various clouds.

VMware Aria Migration is designed to be a one stop shop multi-cloud migration service. It helps simplify and accelerate one of the most difficult tasks many organizations face in their multi-cloud journey. It identifies and migrates workloads and applications to the optimal cloud, based on your goals for security, performance, cost, and time.

Over time, we plan to release three core migration capabilities – assessment, planning, and execution. With this initial release, VMware Aria Migration provides the assessment capabilities. 

The migration assessment capability is FREE! Yes, you read that correctly. VMware will be offering migration assessment capabilities for free. The free assessment service reduces the time and effort required to scope a planned migration and understand its target cloud requirements as well as TCO impact. Free also means that there is no requirement to subscribe to any other services to create migration assessments using VMware Aria Migration.

VMware Aria Hub components and integrations

VMware Aria Hub provides a single user interface that integrates existing management solutions to focus on entity and application management. It also provides business insight analytics that help you keep your applications and the underlying entities as healthy as possible.

What are data source accounts

The connection accounts for your cloud data sources so that VMware Aria Hub can collect data from those systems. The collected data is stored in the VMware Aria Graph database. VMware Aria Hub can then manage your discovered cloud entities both uniquely within VMware Aria Hub and by using integrations with your other VMware Aria services.

What is VMware Aria Graph

With regard to VMware Aria Hub, the Entity Data Service (EDS) stores collected data in the VMware Aria Graph database and reconciles the entity IDs for entities collected from both your data sources and from the integrated VMware Aria services.

What are applications

An application is a collection of business-defined resources and services that operates as a business application. It is not the software or code that makes up a software application.VMware Aria Hub discovers applications using the application discovery service. The service analyzes entity metadata, such as tags and properties, to identify clusters of resources.

What are secure cloud findings

To ensure that your managed resources comply with defined rules, VMware Aria Hub provides findings. VMware Aria Automation for Secure Clouds generates findings when it detects a configuration state that violates the active native or third-party security rules.
