AWS Server Migration Service

Posted on: Feb 22, 2019

AWS Server Migration Service now offers support for importing and migrating applications discovered by AWS Migration Hub. This new feature allows you to quickly migrate applications identified during discovery phase, eliminating the need to recreate groupings, and as a result, reduce the time to migrate and lower the risk of errors in the migration process. You can discover servers and create application groupings using the Migration Hub console, CLI, or CSV import, and use those groupings as-is within the Server Migration Service to perform application migration.

AWS Migration Hub provides a single location to track the progress of application migrations across multiple AWS and partner solutions.

AWS Server Migration Service is an agentless service which makes it easier and faster for you to migrate on-premises workloads to AWS from VMware vSphere and Microsoft Hyper-V environments. It offers multi-server support to enable coordinated migration of a group of servers, making it easier to coordinate large-scale server migrations.
