What is application migration in AWS?
AWS Application Migration Service minimizes time-intensive, error-prone manual processes by automating the conversion of your source servers to run natively on AWS. It also simplifies application modernization with built-in and custom optimization options.
How does AWS migration service work?
AWS Server Migration Service (AWS SMS) automates the migration of your on-premises VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V/SCVMM, and Azure virtual machines to the AWS Cloud. AWS SMS incrementally replicates your server VMs as cloud-hosted Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) ready for deployment on Amazon EC2.
What is the difference between AWS SMS and application migration service?
Application Migration Service (MGN) utilizes continuous, block-level replication and enables short cutover windows measured in minutes. Server Migration Service (SMS) utilizes incremental, snapshot-based replication and enables cutover windows measured in hours.
What is the fastest way to migrate an application to AWS cloud?
For many applications, the best approach is to rapidly move to cloud and then rearchitect in AWS. You can use AWS Application Migration Service (MGN) to quickly lift and shift (rehost) a large number of servers from physical, virtual, or cloud infrastructure to AWS.
