This AWS title covers the following topics:
- AWS Foundations: Strategies and Tools to Perform Large-Scale Migrations
- Introduction to AWS Application Discovery Service
Learn about AWS's strategy and best practices for performing large-scale migrations. Synthesized from AWS's experience of helping hundreds of enterprise customers move to the cloud, you will learn proven techniques that make migrations successful and tools that will accelerate your migration journey to the AWS Cloud.
AWS Application Discovery Service helps enterprise customers plan migration projects by gathering information about their on-premises data centers.
Planning data center migrations can involve thousands of workloads that are often deeply interdependent. Server utilization data and dependency mapping are important early first steps in the migration process. AWS Application Discovery Service collects and presents configuration, usage, and behavior data from your servers to help you better understand your workloads.
The collected data is retained in encrypted format in an AWS Application Discovery Service data store. You can export this data as a CSV file and use it to estimate the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of running on AWS and to plan your migration to AWS. In addition, this data is also available in AWS Migration Hub, where you can migrate the discovered servers and track their progress as they get migrated to AWS.
