AWS Application Discovery Service
#222 · Level 4 · Operations and specialized areas · Migration and transferConcept
Section titled “Concept”AWS Application Discovery Service collects information about your office servers — what is running, how much is being used, and what connects to what. It gathers details about server setup, CPU and memory usage, and network connections. To collect the data, you can install an agent on each server, or in a VMware environment use a collector without agents. The collected data can be seen in AWS Migration Hub, and it can also be exported for analysis. This data is used to plan the migration and to decide which servers should be moved together.
