Today, AWS announces additional file support for AWS Application Discovery Service (ADS), which adds the ability to import VMware data generated by 3rd-party datacentre tools. With today’s launch, you can now directly take an export from Dell Technology’s RVTools and load it into ADS without any file manipulation.
ADS provides a system of record for configuration, performance, tags, network connections, and application grouping of your existing on-premises workloads. Now with the support for additional file formats, you have the option to kick off your migration journey using the data you already have. At any time later you have the option to deploy either ADS Discovery Agents or ADS Agentless Collectors and the data will automatically be merged into a unified view of your datacentre.
These new capabilities are available in all AWS Regions where AWS Application Discovery Service is available.
To learn more, please see the user guide for AWS Application Discovery Service. For more information on using the ADS import action via the AWS SDK or CLI, please see the API reference.
