AWS Migration

AWS Application Migration Service (MGN)

AWS Application Migration Service handles the heavy lifting of moving on-premises workloads to the cloud. It automates the replication of servers and applications, streamlining the process of shifting infrastructure without requiring manual rehosting steps. This tool focuses on continuous replication, ensuring data consistency and minimizing downtime during the transition from legacy environments to AWS infrastructure.

It suits teams looking to migrate without upfront software costs, as the service itself is free. The trade-off is that while the migration tool has no license fee, you still pay for the underlying AWS resources consumed during the process. There is no permanent free tier for the target infrastructure, so budgeting for compute and storage remains essential even if the migration agent costs nothing.
