help AWS Application Migration Service FAQ
Is AWS Application Migration Service the replacement for CloudEndure Migration?
Yes, AWS Application Migration Service (MGN) is the automated lift-and-shift evolution of the CloudEndure technology that Amazon acquired in 2019. AWS recommends using MGN as the primary tool for migrating physical, virtual, or cloud servers directly into their EC2 infrastructure.
Is there an additional licensing fee to use AWS Application Migration Service?
There is no extra charge to use the AWS MGN software itself, making it highly cost-effective compared to third-party migration tools. You only pay for the underlying AWS compute and storage resources that your servers consume while replicating data and during the actual cutover.
Can AWS MGN migrate my older Windows Server 2008 databases to AWS?
Yes, AWS Application Migration Service supports a wide variety of older operating systems, including Windows Server 2008 and 2012, which have reached end-of-life support. By migrating these legacy servers to AWS, you can maintain security updates and compliance.
How much downtime will my application experience during an AWS MGN cutover?
The actual server cutover downtime is typically limited to just a few minutes, as the service uses continuous block-level data replication. It keeps your source server and your new AWS EC2 instance perfectly synchronized until you are ready to execute the final launch.
