The architectural shift brought the power of OpenStack’s Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) together with the agility of Red Hat OpenShift, allowing organizations to run virtualized and cloud-native workloads on a single, unified platform. As businesses face increasing pressure to optimize costs and consolidate IT environments, especially in light of shifting market dynamics, many are looking for a modern approach to managing their cloud infrastructure. To address that challenge, Red Hat is introducing Red Hat OpenStack VMware migration toolkit (based on the os-migrate VMware toolkit upstream project) to support the adoption of OpenStack Services on OpenShift. This new migration toolkit is designed to simplify and accelerate your journey to Red Hat OpenStack Services on OpenShift. It's designed to address the real-world challenges of migrating mission critical workloads from VMware, giving you a streamlined and efficient path forward. With this toolkit, users can: Seamlessly move workloads : The tool provides a direct and automated pathway to migrate an existing virtual machine (VM) with minimal disruption. Leverage automation : Integrate the migration process into your existing Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform workflows. Scale migration efforts : This tool is designed to handle large-scale migrations, enabling you to move VMs efficiently over a short period. Unify management : The migration toolkit simplifies the experience of bringing your legacy virtualized workloads into a singular control plane, where they can coexist with your new cloud-native, containerized applications. Warm migration : A specialized Ansible collection aims to simplify and automate the migration process from VMWare environments into Red Hat OpenStack Services on OpenShift. The Red Hat OpenStack VMware migration toolkit is delivered as an Ansible collection.
