VMware Cloud Engineer – EVS & Migration

EVS (Elastic VMware Service)

EVS provides VMware Cloud Foundation on AWS, enabling lift-and-shift of VMware-based workloads to AWS without re-platforming.

Resource Requirements:

• EVS cluster provisioning in target AWS regions
• vCenter, ESXi host, and vSAN configuration within the EVS environment
• Network connectivity between EVS and native AWS services (VPC integration, ENI attachments)
• VM migration tooling (HCX or equivalent) for workload mobility from on-premises VMware to EVS
• Licensing alignment for VMware components

Professional Services Core Skillsets:

• VMware Administration / vSphere Engineering — vCenter management, ESXi host configuration, vSAN storage policies, VM lifecycle management, and DRS/HA cluster tuning
• AWS EVS / VMware Cloud Specialization — EVS cluster deployment, SDDC configuration, integration with AWS native services (S3, EBS, VPC), and hybrid connectivity design
• Migration & Workload Mobility — VMware HCX deployment and configuration, bulk VM migration planning, cutover orchestration, and rollback procedures
• Cloud Network Architecture — EVS networking (NSX or VPC-based), connectivity to native AWS VPCs, DNS integration, and cross-region traffic routing
• Security & Identity — vCenter RBAC, integration with AWS IAM, NSX micro-segmentation, and compliance controls for VMware workloads on AWS
• Infrastructure Automation (IaC) — Automated provisioning of EVS environments using Terraform, CloudFormation, or VMware Aria Automation
