AWS Migration Hub features

Migration Hub journeys make migrations easier to execute and track by showing all of the required steps to successfully migrate to AWS. A journey provides guidance on the recommended tasks for all phases of the migration to be completed. Migration Hub journeys also provide customizable step-by-step run books to execute each subtask, which reduces time for project planning and dependency on cloud experts. 

Migration Hub journeys enables collaboration across partners, practitioners and customers to keep you on-time and on-budget. Start your journey with a pre-defined set of roles (administrator, contributor), and invite other users (including partners and AWS personnel) to collaborate. Based on privileges, users can assign individual tasks to experts, get automatic notifications for delayed or blocked tasks and upload artifacts in one place to ensure context is never lost.

With Migration Hub, you can import information about on-premises servers and applications, or you can perform a deeper discovery using AWS Discovery Agent or AWS Discovery Collector, an agentless approach for VMware environments.

AWS Migration Hub network visualization allows you to accelerate migration planning by quickly identifying servers and their dependencies, identifying the role of a server, and grouping servers into applications. To use network visualization, first install Discovery Agents and then start data collection from the Data Collectors page.

AWS Migration Hub Strategy Recommendations helps you easily build a migration and modernization strategy for your applications running on premises or in AWS. Strategy Recommendations analyzes your applications to help you determine the optimal strategy and tools to migrate and modernize at scale.

Migration Hub Orchestrator helps accelerate your application migration with predefined workflow templates, for 1) the migrations of SAP NetWeaver–based applications with HANA databases, 2) the rehosting of any applications to Amazon EC2, 3) the rehosting of SQL Server databases to Amazon EC2, 4) the replatforming of SQL Server databases to Amazon RDS, and 5) the importing of on-premises virtual machine images to AWS , and 6) the replatforming of .NET and Java applications to Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) on AWS Fargate.

The AWS Migration Hub dashboard shows the latest status and metrics for your rehost and replatform migrations. This allows you to quickly understand the progress of your migrations, as well as identify and troubleshoot any issues that arise. Migration Hub lets you track the status of your migrations into any AWS Region supported by your migration tools. Regardless of which Regions you migrate into, the migration status will appear in Migration Hub when using an integrated tool.

AWS Migration Hub Refactor Spaces is the starting point for incremental application refactoring to microservices. Refactor Spaces eliminates the undifferentiated work of building and operating AWS infrastructure for incremental refactoring. You can use Refactor Spaces to reduce the risk of evolving applications into microservices or extending existing applications with new features written in microservices. The Refactor Spaces environment bridges networking across AWS accounts to permit old and new services to communicate while maintaining the independence of separate accounts. Refactor Spaces provides an application proxy that models the strangler-fig pattern to let you transparently add new services to an external HTTPS endpoint and incrementally route traffic to the new services. This keeps underlying architecture changes transparent to your app consumers.
