With the recent Broadcom acquisition of VMware, many VMware vSphere users are looking for more cost-effective alternatives for managing their critical VM workloads. If you or your Org are facing this predicament, then you've likely thought about migration. But fear not - Mirantis has you covered.
In this episode, Cloud Solution Architect Daniel Virassamy of Mirantis will explain the most seamless and efficient way to migrate your existing VMware VMs to either an open source, OpenStack Cloud (Recipe 1) OR how to move those same VMs into a containerized environment on top of Kubernetes with Mirantis Kubernetes Engine (MKE).
A full list of topics for this week's episode include:

• Major open clouds in the market today
• Moving VMware VMs to OpenStack Cloud
• Discovery & planning phases
• Analysis & design phases
• Migration & validation phases
• Components supported in migration process
• Operating systems supported in migration process
• Automation is the key
• Migration dependencies - workloads, provider & infrastructure
• Moving from VMware to K8s - VMs to containers
• Supported use cases for AMMP
• How does AMMP look at enterprise scale?
• Real world example - application transformation metrics
• How Mirantis can help
