How to use AWS Application Migration Service ( Onpremise to AWS Cloud Mumbai)

Image description

Pre-requisites -

VPC CIDR of On Premise in which the Windows App server is running

Plan for AWS Migration Service — Tasks to do in Replication Settings template

Step -1 : Create a New VPC with two Public Subnets.

  1. Subnet 1 is for Replication instance
  2. Subnet 2 is for Target Machine

Step -2 : Navigate to AWS console, choose the AWS Migration Service and Launch the AWS Migration Service Dashboard
Step -3 : Click on create IAM roles and click on create Security group for AWS Application Migration Service
Step -4 : Choose the replication server instance type as M5a.large
Step -5 : Choose the EBS volume as HDD, all disks
Step -6 : Choose the option create Public IP

AWS Replication Agent installation Steps :

Step 1 — Select operating system as Windows
Step 2 — Select replicate all disks

Step 4 — Copy the S3 url for AWS Replication installer and download it in the Ranchi App Server
Ste5 5 — AwsReplicationWindowsInstaller.exe — region ap-south -1 copy this command and paste it in the Ranchi APP Server’s Powershell

Tasks in AWS Migration Service console

Step:1 We can see a replication instance getting spined up and the replication from Onpremise App Server to this instance in progress
Step:2 Once the replication is over the console asks to launch the target machine, Navigate to the steps in console and
launch the target machine (Choose instance type as per requirement) in Target Machine subnet we created in cutover mode

Post Migration tasks -

Step:1 Create a AWS WAF and map it to the Ec2 App instance
