Recipe Objective - Introduction to AWS Migration Evaluator and its use cases?

The AWS Migration Evaluator is a widely used service and is defined as a service that helps gain free access to data and insights to help users make better decisions about migrating to AWS. Making a business case on the user's own takes time and may not always discover the most cost-effective options. The first stage in the migration process is to create a business case. Following the collection of data, users will receive a rapid assessment that includes a predicted cost estimate and savings for operating their on-premises workloads in the AWS Cloud. If further information is needed after getting your initial assessment, the user's firm can work with the Migration Evaluator team to produce a directional business case. Furthermore, the user's migration goal will be captured, and the team will use analytics to narrow down the migration patterns that are best suited to their business needs. Users company has access to AWS knowledge, as well as visibility into the costs of various migration plans and tips on how to save even more money by repurposing current software licences. The results are documented in a clear business case report that helps align business and technical stakeholders while also recommending the next stage in the migration. Starting with on-premises inventory discovery, users can use AWS Application Discovery Service outputs, third-party tools, or a free agentless collector to track Windows, Linux, and SQL Server footprints. Our service examines users' company's compute footprint, including server setup, use, annual operating costs, bring-your-own-license eligibility, and hundreds of other factors. It then uses statistical modelling to match each workload to the best available resources in the Amazon Elastic Cloud Compute and Amazon Elastic Block Store. It first generates a summary of the estimated expenses to re-host at AWS, as well as a breakdown of expenditures by infrastructure and software licences. If further information is needed, a business case is created that compares the current situation to multiple prospective states.

Benefits of Amazon Migration Evaluator

  • The Migration Evaluator detects overprovisioned on-premises instances and recommends alternative AWS instances that match or exceed those requirements at a cheaper cost thus it simplifies the discovery. Easily determine which current Microsoft licences can be moved to the cloud, as well as the cost differences between BYOL and LI alternatives and thus it optimizes the cloud planning. Migration Evaluator provides assessments that have been shown to save up to 50% on costs and thus it fast Tracks Migration.

System Requirements

  • Any Operating System(Mac, Windows, Linux)

This recipe explains AWS Migration Evaluator and uses cases of AWS Migration Evaluator.

Use cases of AWS Migration Evaluator

    • It has a use case for the Complete and Efficient Cloud Modernization Journey

AWS Migration Evaluator explains the importance of adjusting to quickly changing real estate market dynamics to users. The online real estate market necessitates a setting that can respond to business-impacting events such as legislative shifts or economic downturns. For example, Auction.com started on a cloud journey to relocate and update its infrastructure on Amazon Web Services to improve its agility and scalability (AWS).

    • It has a use case of accelerating Innovation

To assist it to reach its business objectives more rapidly, For example, Parsons employed Amazon Web Services (AWS) capabilities to examine its present state, define its target state, and design a migration preparedness strategy. To establish a data-driven business case, the company commissioned an AWS Optimization and Licensing Assessment (AWS OLA), which used a data assessment tool called Migration Evaluator to analyse its hardware and software environment and obtain visibility into the cost and resource readiness. As a result, by switching to AWS, the organisation was able to eliminate unplanned downtime, optimise recurring computing costs, and bring innovations to market faster.

    • It has a use case of creating directional business case

AWS Migration Evaluator is a migration evaluation solution that assists users in developing a strategic business case for AWS cloud planning and migration. Migration Evaluator gives a clear baseline of what users firm is running today and estimates AWS costs based on measured on-premises provisioning and uses to project future-state cloud costs.
