Organizations worldwide are embarking on an app modernization journey to be more agile and competitive, and to better address their customers’ needs. There are three top issues enterprises encounter on this journey:
Application Transformer applies to the VMware vSphere or VMC-based environment. It discovers application components and builds application topologies. In addition, Application Transformer can automatically create OCI-compliant container images, which can be deployed into the Tanzu Kubernetes stack.
Application Transformer is an agent-less tool that only requires VM access through vCenter.
Application Transformer is a tool to simplify and accelerate the application transformation journey by automating the discovery, analysis, and containerization process. Organizations can benefit from:
There are three ways to access Application Transformer for VMware Tanzu:
Additionally, VMware Cloud on AWS customers have limited access to the Application Transformer for VMware Tanzu. The access is through integration with VMware Cloud console. If customers desire full access to Application Transformer, they need to buy Tanzu Standard, Tanzu for Kubernetes Operations, or App Navigator.
Application Transformer is a tool that customers with in-house capabilities can use to address their modernization needs. To get more benefit out of Application Transformer, we recommend customers engage with the App Navigator service. The App Navigator team uses Application Transformer in the service engagement.
App Navigator is a service available to customers to modernize their application environment. The App Navigator team is comprised of experienced consultants. During a 4–6-week engagement, VMware services consultants help identify which legacy applications to tackle first and which changes are needed to move quickly and drive business outcomes.
Today, SI partners can access Application Transformer through an NFR license valid for dev/test environments. However, if customers want to use Application Transformer for production purposes, they must purchase Tanzu Standard or Tanzu for Kubernetes Operations.
