Migration and Transfer Flashcards
Allows you to quickly realize the benefits of migrating applications to the cloud without changes and with minimal downtime
AWS Application Migration Service
USE CASE: minimizes time-intensive, error-prone manual processes by automatically converting your source servers from physical, virtual, or cloud infrastructure to run natively on AWS. It further simplifies your migration by enabling you to use the same automated process for a wide range of applications.
Provides a single location to track the progress of application migrations across multiple AWS and partner solutions.
AWS Migration Hub
Helps enterprise customers plan migration projects by gathering information about their on-premises data centers. Collects and presents configuration, usage, and behavior data from your servers to help you better understand your workloads
AWS Application Discovery Service
Helps you migrate databases to AWS easily and securely. The source database remains fully operational during the migration, minimizing downtime to applications that rely on the database. It can migrate your data to and from most widely used commercial and open-source databases
AWS Database Migration Service
An agentless service that makes it easier and faster for you to migrate thousands of on-premises workloads to AWS. Allows you to automate, schedule, and track incremental replications of live server volumes, making it easier for you to coordinate large-scale server migrations
AWS Server Migration Service
Helps customers that need to run operations in austere, non-data center environments, and in locations where there’s a lack of consistent network connectivity. It also offers a number of physical devices and capacity points, most with built-in computing capabilities
AWS Snow Family
Types of AWS SNOW Family
AWS Snowcone, AWS Snowball, and AWS Snowmobile
Smallest member of the AWS Snow Family of edge computing edge storage, and data transfer devices, weighing in at 4.5 pounds (2.1 kg) with 8 terabytes of usable storage.
AWS Snowcone
USE CASE: run edge computing workloads, or to collect, process, and transfer data to AWS. Snowcone is designed for data migration needs up to 8 terabytes per device and from space-constrained environments where AWS Snowball devices will not fit
Edge computing, data migration, and edge storage device. Provide 52 vCPUs, block and object storage, and an optional GPU for use cases like advanced machine learning and full-motion video analysis in disconnected environments.
AWS Snowball
Snowball Edge Storage Optimized devices provide both block storage and Amazon S3-compatible object storage, and 40 vCPUs.
Exabyte-scale data transfer service used to move extremely large amounts of data to AWS. You can transfer up to 100 PB, a 45-foot long ruggedized shipping container, pulled by a semi-trailer truck
AWS Snowmobile
Data transfer service that makes it easy for you to automate moving data between on-premises storage and Amazon S3 or Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS). It automatically handles many of the tasks related to data transfers that can slow down migrations or burden your IT operations, including running your own instances, handling encryption, managing scripts, network optimization, and data integrity validation.
AWS DataSync
USE CASE: You can use DataSync to transfer data at speeds up to 10 times faster than open-source tools. enables one-time data migrations, recurring data processing workflows, and automated replication for data protection and recovery.
Provides fully managed support for file transfers directly into and out of Amazon S3 or Amazon EFS.
AWS Transfer Family
USE CASE: Seamlessly migrate your file transfer workflows to AWS by integrating with existing authentication systems, and providing DNS routing with Amazon Route 53 so nothing changes for your customers and partners, or their applications.
