AWS Migration Hub | Tracking Migration Status Flashcards
Can I see applications that exist in other AWS accounts?

You access AWS Migration Hub using an IAM User associated with an AWS account. This only allows you to see details from your AWS account; you do not have visibility into other accounts.
How do I use AWS Migration Hub when migrating applications?
Tracking Migration Status
AWS Migration Hub | Migration
After you’ve created one or more application groupings from servers discovered using AWS discovery tools or discovered by starting to migrate using an integrated migration tool, you can start or continue to migrate the server or database outside Migration Hub. Return to Migration Hub to view the migration status of each resource in the application.
To do this, visit that application’s page in the Migration Hub console. There, you will see a diagram with all the resources that make up the application as well as a table with more migration status details. For each resource, the general and detailed status of the migration is shown as both a diagram and a table. For instance, for a server being migrated by AWS Server Migration Service, it may report its status as “In progress / replication starting”, “In progress / replication complete”, or “Competed / AMI created”.
When the migration completes, AWS Migration Hub also shows details about the resources that have been created by the migration. For servers migrated by AWS Server Migration Service, ATADATA, CloudEndure, and Racemi, Migration Hub provides links to the AMIs created or running Amazon EC2 instances (depending on the tool). For databases migrated by AWS Database Migration Service, Migration Hub provides the Target Endpoint ID which can be used as a search filter on the Database Migration Service Management Console.
Does AWS Migration Hub automatically migrate my applications for me?

No. AWS Migration Hub does not automate the steps of the migration. Migration Hub provides a single place for you to track the progress of the applications you are migrating.
What do I need to do in order for my application’s migration progress to appear in AWS Migration Hub?
Tracking Migration Status

In order to view migration progress in AWS Migration Hub, two things must be true. The resources that you are migrating must be in the AWS Discovery repository and you must use supported tools to perform the migration. If you start migrating without performing discovery with AWS Discovery Collectors, the servers or databases reported by supported migration tools will be automatically added to your AWS Application Discovery Service repository. Once added, you can group these servers as applications and track their status in a single grouping as the migration progresses.
If you are using a supported tool but not seeing the status in an application, first check the Updates page to verify the status is being received from the tool. If the status is not appearing on the Updates page, then check the Tools page to verify you’ve authorized the tool to send status to the Migration Hub. If it is not authorized, click “Authorize” to add the appropriate IAM permissions.
If the migration status appears on the updates page, then it could be that the resource is not grouped into an application. Visit the Servers page and group the server to an application. Once grouped, view the application from the Migrate/Applications page to see the status migration status.
What is the experience if I don’t do a strict re-host migration, moving the resources exactly from on-premises to AWS?
Tracking Migration Status

AWS Migration Hub will show the status of the resource migrations that are done with supported tools, provided the resource is grouped in an application. It does not need to be a strict re-host migration. For instance, if you move the contents of a database using AWS Database Migration Service, you will see updates in Migration Hub if the server corresponding to the database migration is grouped in an application.
What if I am using a tool that is not integrated with AWS Migration Hub?

Tools that are not integrated with AWS Migration Hub will not report status in the Migration Hub Management Console. You can still see the status of other resources in the application and the application level status or you can update the status via your own automation using the CLI or APIs.
