Recently I got an opportunity to take BoomerangTM for a spin. I wasn’t familiar with the product prior to this opportunity. Boomerang allows you to move your VMware vSphere workloads to Amazon AWS. It allows you to do the following:
- Move your load to AWS
- Use AWS as a DR or backup
- Bring your load back from AWS to your vSphere environment
Boomerang has a very simple deployment, perhaps which would explain the absence of countless PDFs on their website. The steps to get going are simple. You will need the following:
- A vSphere environment
- An AWS account
- Connectivity between 1 and 2
