  • from other cloud to AWS

  • cross-region or AZ

How it works?

Install AWS Replication Agent on your source servers (manual or unattended installation). No reboot required.

Application Migration Service automatically replicates entire servers, including operating system, applications, data, and configurations.

Use the Application Migration Service console to perform non-disruptive tests in AWS prior to initiating a cutover.

When you are ready, use the Application Migration Service console to execute a successful cutover. Your servers are launched on AWS within minutes.
