Comprehensive Architecture Design: • Networking Architecture: Detailed design for seamless connectivity between your on-premises environment and AWS VPC, including IP addressing schemes and network segmentation.

• Security Services Integration: Recommendations for integrating AWS security services (e.g., Security Groups, Network ACLs, AWS WAF, AWS Shield) to protect your EVS environment. • SSO Integration Plan: A detailed approach for integrating your existing Single Sign-On solution with AWS and EVS for streamlined access management.

3. Risk Assessment and Use Case validation: • Identified Risks A comprehensive list of potential migration risks, along with proactive strategies to mitigate them.

• Valid Use Cases for EVS: Clear identification of workloads and scenarios where EVS provides the most significant advantages (e.g., data center extension, rapid migration, simplified operations).

Financial & Operational Insights: • Exact AWS Run-Rate Cost Projection: A transparent breakdown of the estimated monthly and annual costs for all AWS services required to support your EVS environment. This includes compute, storage, networking, and relevant management services.

This audit provides the foundational knowledge and strategic plan you need to embark on your AWS journey with confidence and control, transforming your VMware operations with the agility and scale of the cloud.
