- Select migration tooling and sequencing for each workload group
- Design for security, access control, storage, and operational requirements
- Plan backup, recovery, and resiliency in line with your business objectives
How a VMware-to-OpenShift migration progresses
Estate Assessment and Target Design
Document your vSphere estate, application dependencies, performance needs, and operating requirements, then identify workloads that fit OpenShift Virtualization.
Migration Planning and Tooling
Choose an appropriate migration method, sequence workload waves, and define validation, fallback, and communications plans with your stakeholders.
Platform Build and Migration
Configure the target OpenShift Virtualization environment, storage, networking, and access controls, then execute migration waves using the agreed approach.
Validation and Operational Transition
Validate application function, performance, monitoring, backup, and support procedures before transitioning each workload into steady-state operations.
Day-2 operations and compliance
Managed OpenShift Operations
Ongoing cluster administration, patch coordination, monitoring, and capacity planning for your OpenShift Virtualization environment.
Security and Compliance
Support for access controls, vulnerability management, and evidence-gathering activities aligned to your internal security requirements.
Disaster Recovery
Design and operate backup, recovery, and resiliency measures that align with your recovery objectives and target architecture.
Cost and Capacity Optimization
