As with the use of any Cloud service there will be a need to migrate data from on premise to your chosen cloud infrastructure. AWS Migration & Transfer services provide you with a collection of various services for the purpose of migrating content to the AWS cloud.
Below is a list of the Migration & Transfer services currently available.
AWS Migration Hub
- The AWS Migration Hub simplifies and accelerates discovery and migration from your data centers to the AWS Cloud. It provides a single place to discover your existing servers, plan migrations, and track the status of each application migration. The AWS Migration Hub provides visibility into your application portfolio and streamlines planning and tracking. You can see the status of the server and databases that make up each of the applications you are migrating regardless of which migration tool you are using.
- AWS Migration Hub gives you a choice to start migrating right away and group servers while migration is underway, or to first discover servers and then group them into applications. Either way, you can migrate each server in an application and track progress from each tool. It supports migration status updates from AWS Database Migration Service, AWS Server Migration Service, ATADATA ATAmotion, CLoudEndure Live Migration, and Racemi DynaCenter.
Application Discovery Service
- Application Discovery Service collects data about servers in your data center including system specification, performance, dependencies, and other useful information. It helps system integrators to quickly and reliably plan application migration projects by automatically identifying applications running in on-premise data centers, their associated dependencies, and their performance profile.
Database Migration Service (DMS)
- AWS Database Migration Service (DMS) helps you migrate databases to AWS quickly and securely. The source database remains fully operational during migration, minimizing downtime to applications that rely on it. It can migrate your data to and from most widely used commercial and open-source databases.
- It can be used to migrate databases from on-prem to AWS cloud or from within AWS to other regions.
Server Migration Service (SMS)
- AWS Server Migration Service (SMS) is an agentless service which makes it easier and faster for you to migrate thousands of on-premise workloads to AWS. AWS SMS allows you to automate, schedule, and track incremental replications of live server volumes, making it easier for you to coordinate large-scale server migrations.
- This has a similar function as that of DMS but is designed to target Virtual Machines instead of Databases.
Snowball
- Snowball is a petabyte-scale data transport solution that uses secure appliance to transfer large amounts of data into and out of the AWS cloud. Using Snowball addresses common challenges with large-scale data transfers including high network costs, long transfer times, and security concerns. Transferring data with Snowball is simple, fast, secure and can be as little as one-fifth the cost of high speed internet.
- With Snowball, you don't need to write any code or purchase any hardware to transfer your data. Simply create a job in the AWS Management Console and a Snowball appliance will be shipped to you.
- Snowball Edge is the new upgraded version of Snowball. It includes the AWS Services in it that you can use on-prem.

AWS DataSync
- AWS DataSync is a data-transfer service that simplifies, and accelerates moving and replicating data between on-premises storage systems and AWS Storage services over the internet or AWS Direct Connect.
