AWS Elastic VMware Service for VMware Workload Migration

Amazon Elastic VMware Service (Amazon EVS) is the fastest way to migrate and operate VMware workloads on AWS. It allows businesses to run familiar VMware environments directly within Amazon’s infrastructure while gaining access to the scalability, performance, and resilience of AWS.

For organizations running VMware on-premises, EVS provides a straightforward path to modernization. Whether you are consolidating data centers, preparing for disaster recovery, or adopting hybrid IT strategies, Modality helps you move to the cloud efficiently, keep control of your VMware environment, and unlock AWS-native innovation.

What is the AWS Elastic VMware Service?

AWS Elastic VMware Service enables you to run VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) on Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC). It is designed to support existing VMware environments without requiring re-platforming, retraining, or rewriting operational playbooks.

By deploying VMware Cloud Foundation directly in AWS, you can migrate workloads with minimal disruption, extend your VMware footprint, and maintain the same tools and skills your teams already rely on. This makes Amazon EVS a reliable option for organizations looking to modernize infrastructure while preserving operational consistency.
