Migrating off VMware to OpenStack: Here’s What It Takes - Seguridad Mania.com - España y América Latina

“They’re all VM-based workloads. How hard could it be to migrate them? Mostly a lift-and-shift, right?” True! But “simple” migrations can also be harder than they look, and slower, and riskier – unless you follow a dependable playbook and apply the right tools. Doing migrations right is critical to gaining benefit from new private cloud environments: reduced ops overhead, better hardware utilization, power savings – and it’s ultimately what lets you reduce your VMware footprint on a reasonable timetable (and reduce those costs). In this webinar, Michael Tillman and Heiko Kraemer, Principal Cloud Architect, tackle the challenge of how you plan, automate, and execute moving a diverse, VM-based workload population off VMware and onto an OpenStack private cloud. He’ll reveal the hidden gotchas, entity mapping issues, and other technical challenges, and offer both a playbook and recommendations for a toolkit to help you plan and execute migrations faster, with greater assurance and steeply-reduced risks.
