In this recipe, we will learn about AWS Migration Hub. We will also learn about the use cases of AWS Migration Hub.

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

The AWS Migration Hub is a widely used service and is defined as a service that is a one-stop shop for cloud migration and modernisation, providing users with the resources you need to streamline and expedite their AWS journey. Perhaps users are trying to persuade their boss to go cloud, or you're compiling a data-driven inventory of their current IT assets. Perhaps they are preparing, managing, and tracking a portfolio of AWS-based applications. Users could also be updating applications that are currently running on AWS. In each of these scenarios, Migration Hub can assist users with their cloud shift. Migration Hub is a centralised repository for IT asset inventory data and migration tracking to any AWS Region. After users have completed the transfer, use Migration Hub to speed up the conversion of their applications to native AWS. All AWS customers have access to Migration Hub at no additional cost. Users simply have to pay for the migration tools they use, if any, and any AWS resources they utilise. When users utilise AWS Migration Hub Refractor Spaces, users only pay for what they use, plus any expenses associated with other AWS resources that Migration Hub orchestrates.

Benefits of Amazon Migration Hub

  • All steps of migration and modernization readiness are assisted by Migration Hub. It makes finding current apps and infrastructure, as well as their dependencies, easier, as well as assessing an applicant's ability to be moved and modernised and making recommendations for modernization plans thus it provides discovery, evaluation, and planning are all steps in the process. Many components of migrations must be tracked, such as the status of transferred servers or databases, which are often tracked using many tools. This is addressed by Migration Hub, which provides a central area for tracking the status of different components, making it easy to see overall migration progress and cutting down on time spent identifying the current status and next steps thus it provides centralized tracking. Using proven established workflow templates based on thousands of apps with comparable patterns that AWS has moved, users can speed up their application migrations. By eliminating many of the manual activities required in migrating large-scale business applications, managing dependencies across different tools, and customising migration workflow templates to fit the needs of unique workloads and use cases, users may save time and money using AWS Migration Hub and thus provides migration acceleration. Migration Hub streamlines application refactoring, simplifies development and operations, and allows users to manage existing apps and microservices as a unified application. For gradual refactoring, Migration Hub avoids the undifferentiated work of establishing and running AWS infrastructure. It lowers the cost of migrating apps to microservices or extending existing systems that can't be updated with new microservices features and thus provides application refactoring on the fly.

System Requirements

  • Any Operating System(Mac, Windows, Linux)

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

Use cases of AWS Migration Hub

    • It provides a use case for finding or importing information about your on-premises server.

Users can import information about on-premises servers and applications using AWS Migration Hub, or users can use AWS Discovery Agent or AWS Discovery Collector, an agentless alternative for VMware setups, to undertake a deeper discovery.

    • It provides a use case for building a migration plan

By immediately identifying servers and their dependencies, determining the purpose of a server, and arranging servers into apps, users can speed up migration planning with AWS Migration Hub network visualisation. Install Discovery Agents first, then start data collection from the Data Collectors page to use network visualisation.

    • It has a use case of providing strategy recommendations

AWS Migration Hub Strategy Recommendations make it simple to create a migration and modernization strategy for your on-premises or AWS apps. Plan Recommendations examines the apps to discover the best migration and modernization strategy and tools.
