AWS Application Discovery Service

AWS Application Discovery Service handles the tedious inventory work for on-premises migrations. It scans your local environment to map out application dependencies, server configurations, and usage patterns, giving you a clear picture of what needs to move to the cloud. This automated discovery replaces manual audits, helping teams plan migration waves with actual data rather than guesswork.

It’s a solid fit for enterprises moving legacy infrastructure to AWS who need visibility before touching a single server. The main catch is that while the service itself is free, you still pay for the underlying infrastructure required to run the discovery agents and store the collected data. You aren’t billed for the discovery logic, but the supporting resources aren’t included in that free tier.
