What is AWS Migration Hub?
General
AWS Migration Hub | Migration
AWS Migration Hub provides a rich web experience that helps you understand your existing IT assets as well as view and track progress of application migrations. It lets you collect and view data about on-premises resources, group those resources into applications, and track the progress of those applications as you migrate to AWS.
Why should I use AWS Migration Hub?
General
AWS Migration Hub | Migration
AWS Migration Hub provides a single place to discover your existing servers and track the status of each application migration. It gives you better visibility into your application portfolio and streamlines migration tracking. If you plan to migrate some or all of your portfolio to AWS using tools like AWS Server Migration Service, AWS Database Migration Service, or partner tools, then you should consider using Migration Hub. Migration Hub is optimized for tracking application migration status when moving your portfolio to AWS. If you are rehosting servers and/or replatforming databases in AWS, then Migration Hub can reduce time spent determining current status and next steps.
What migration tools integrate with AWS Migration Hub?
General
AWS Migration Hub | Migration
AWS Server Migration Service, AWS Database Migration Service, ATADATA ATAmotion, CloudEndure Live Migration, and Racemi DynaCenter are integrated with AWS Migration Hub and automatically report migration status to Migration Hub. See the Migration Hub Documentation for more details about authorizing tools to send status to Migration Hub.
How does AWS Migration Hub help me track the progress of my application migrations?
General
AWS Migration Hub | Migration
AWS Migration Hub helps you by providing visibility into your migration progress. You use one of the integrated migration tools and then return to the hub to see the status of your migration. You can group servers into applications once the migration has started or, optionally, you can discover and group your servers before you start.
How does AWS Migration Hub help me understand my IT environment?
General
AWS Migration Hub | Migration
AWS Migration Hub helps you understand your IT environment by letting you explore information collected by AWS discovery tools and stored in the AWS Application Discovery Service’s repository. With the repository populated, you can view technical specifications and performance information about the discovered resources in Migration Hub. You can export data from the Application Discovery Service repository, analyze it, and import server groupings as an “application”. Once grouped, the application grouping is used to aggregate the migration status from each migration tool used to migrate the servers and databases in the application.
How much does it cost to use AWS Migration Hub?
Getting Started
AWS Migration Hub | Migration
Migration Hub is available to all AWS customers at no additional charge. You only pay for the cost of the migration tools you use, and any resources being consumed on AWS.
How do I get started with AWS Migration Hub?
Getting Started
AWS Migration Hub | Migration
Follow the Getting Started Guide in our documentation to get started.
What regions can I migrate to using AWS Migration Hub?
Getting Started
AWS Migration Hub | Migration
AWS Migration Hub helps you monitor the status of your migrations in all AWS regions, provided your migration tools are available in that region. The migration tools that integrate with Migration Hub (e.g., AWS Server Migration Service, AWS Database Migration Service) send migration status to the Migration Hub in US West (Oregon). There, the status is aggregated and visible in a single location. Note that integrated tools will not send status unless you have authorized (i.e., connected) them on the Tools page of the Migration Hub console.
How is access granted to AWS Migration Hub?
Discovering Servers and Grouping Applications
AWS Migration Hub | Migration
AWS Migration Hub requires an AWS Account role which will be automatically added the first time you access the console as an admin user. Integrated migration tools can be authorized on the Tools page of the Migration Hub console. Please see the Authentication and Access Control section of the AWS Migration Hub User Guide for more details.
How do I view my IT portfolio in AWS Migration Hub?
Discovering Servers and Grouping Applications
AWS Migration Hub | Migration
In order to view your IT assets in AWS Migration Hub, you perform discovery using an AWS discovery tool or by migrating with an integrated migration tool. Once you’ve performed discovery or started migrating, you can explore your environment from within Migration Hub. You can learn more about any resource found by clicking on the server ID shown on the Servers page of the Migration Hub console. You then see the server details page. If you used an AWS discovery tool to discover your servers, then you will see collected data including technical specifications and average utilization.
How do I add resources into the Discovery Repository?
Discovering Servers and Grouping Applications
AWS Migration Hub | Migration
When you first visit AWS Migration Hub, you are prompted to perform discovery or start migrating. If you decide to start migrating without performing discovery, then your application servers and database servers will appear as resources in the Migration Hub as you migrate them with integrated migration tools that you’ve authorized in the Migration Hub Management Console.
For discovery, you have two data collection options. If you have a VMware environment and prefer not to install an agent, then you can use the AWS Application Discovery Service agentless collector. If you need more detailed information, then you can install agents on your servers that collect a wide variety of information including details about resource utilization, processes running on the server, and the server’s network dependencies. Process and network dependency information is available for export and analysis outside AWS Migration Hub. Please see the Application Discovery Service User Guide for more info on the AWS Discovery Collectors.
How do I group servers into an application?
Discovering Servers and Grouping Applications
AWS Migration Hub | Migration
Before grouping servers into an application, you need to populate AWS Migration Hub’s Servers list. Servers are added to the Servers list whenever you run AWS discovery tools or by using an integrated migration tool. Once your Servers list is populated, select one or more resources on the Servers page in the Migration Hub console and then choose the “Group as Application” button. Applications can also be created using the AWS Application Discovery Service SDK/CLI.
How do I view applications?
Discovering Servers and Grouping Applications
AWS Migration Hub | Migration
You can visit the Applications page in the Migrate section of the AWS Migration Hub console to see the list of applications and their current migration status. Only resources that are grouped to applications using the Discover section’s Servers page or AWS SDK/CLI will appear on the Applications page. Applications can have one of three migration statuses: “not started”, “in-progress”, and “completed”.
Can I see applications created by other users within the same account?
Discovering Servers and Grouping Applications
AWS Migration Hub | Migration
Yes, applications created by any IAM User within an account will be visible to any other IAM Users within the same account that is granted access to AWS Migration Hub. Any changes made will be visible to all users with permission.
Can I see applications that exist in other AWS accounts?
Tracking Migration Status
AWS Migration Hub | Migration
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.
