help AWS Migration Evaluator FAQ

What data does AWS Migration Evaluator collect from an on-premises environment?

It collects infrastructure inventory and utilization data needed to model migration scenarios, commonly from VMware vCenter and other server environments. The assessment focuses on resources such as CPU, memory, storage, and observed usage rather than moving applications itself.

Is AWS Migration Evaluator the same as AWS Application Discovery Service?

No. Migration Evaluator builds a business case and cost projection, while AWS Application Discovery Service gathers configuration and usage data to support detailed migration planning.

Does Migration Evaluator actually migrate virtual machines into AWS?

No. It produces an assessment and estimated AWS cost model; AWS Application Migration Service is the service designed to replicate and cut over supported servers.
