What customers have told us:Cloud migrations can be complex and costly

Data center migrations can involve thousands of workloads and tens of thousands of servers

They can involve complex application interdependencies that are poorly understood

Determining best path of legacy applications is challenging

Identifying application inventory and dependencies manually slows down migration process

Infrastructure and application level information captured from hosts

Inventory of installed software applications

Information about running applications and processes User information, group information, list of kernel modules, operation systems information

System and process performance, and resource utilization CPU and memory usage, all create and stop process events, disk and network

Track network activity on a server to infer dependencies TCP/UDP listening ports (with processes), TCP v4/v6 connections, NIC information

Public API operations to manage and consume the service ListConfigurationItem—search discovered hosts GetConfigurationAttributes—describe a discovered host ExportConfiguration—ability to export the discovery data as CSV Create/Delete Tags—group servers and plan migrations

AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI) and SDK utility to access the API operations

Offline processing and visualization

A migration examplePrepare for a LAMP stack for migration

Application Discovery Service views dependencies of a LAMP stack Workloads comprised of Apache, MySQL, and PHP servers Depends on infrastructure services: LDAP, hardware load balancers, DHCP server, DNS server, Syslog

server Analyze dependencies and right-size using API operations, import to Microsoft Excel

SI Partner or AWS Professional Services would: Create a suitable VPC and subnet on AWS to house application Establish a connection by AWS Direct Connect from on-premises to AWS Region Plan out the migration

Apache and PHP VMs => Amazon EC2 Hardware LB => Elastic Load Balancing MySQL => Amazon RDS DNS => Amazon Route 53 LDAP and log servers stay on-premises (for other on-premises applications)
