AWS Migration Hub

aws/migration aws/service

💡 Definition

AWS Migration Hub provides a single location to track the progress of application migrations across multiple AWS and partner solutions. It allows you to choose the AWS migration tools that best fit your needs, while providing a central view of your entire migration portfolio.

🔑 Key Concepts

Centralized Migration Tracking: Aggregates migration status from various migration tools (e.g., AWS Application Migration Service, DMS, partners) into a single dashboard.
Application-Centric View: Organize your migration based on applications rather than individual servers, providing a holistic view of complex application migrations.
Integration with Discovery: Works with AWS Application Discovery Service to import discovered on-premises server and application data.
Simplified Decision Making: Helps you make informed decisions about migration strategy and progress by offering a consolidated overview.

⚙️ How it Works

Migration Hub integrates with various AWS and partner migration tools. As these tools perform discovery, planning, and migration tasks, they send updates to Migration Hub. Migration Hub then aggregates this information into a central dashboard, providing a clear visual representation of the overall migration progress for each application.

🎯 Use Cases

Managing Large-Scale Migrations: For enterprises migrating a complex portfolio of applications, it provides essential visibility and control.
Tracking Progress: Monitoring the status of multiple concurrent migrations.
Reporting: Generating status reports for stakeholders on the migration journey.
Tool Selection: Guiding the choice of appropriate migration tools based on discovered data.

💰 Pricing Model

Free: AWS Migration Hub is offered at no additional charge. You only pay for the underlying AWS migration services and resources that you use.
