AWS Server Migration Contd..
- Lets ensure both the vms are configured to login with username and password
- open the file /etc/ssh/sshd_config and ensure PasswordAuthentication is set to yes and restart sshd service
- Lets install
- apache on centos vm
sudo yum install httpd -y sudo systemctl enable httpd.service sudo systemctl start httpd.service sudo systemctl status httpd.service
- tomcat on ubuntu vm
sudo apt update sudo apt install openjdk-8-jdk -y sudo apt install tomcat9 tomcat9-admin tomcat9-common tomcat9-docs tomcat9-examples tomcat9-user -y
- Now that we have some vms to be migrated to AWS, Lets start using the AWS Server Migration Service to perform lift and shift (re-host) migration
- AWS Server Migration Service (SMS) automates the process of migration from your on-premise VMWare vSphere, Microsoft HyperV/SCVMM and Azure Virtual Machines to AWS
- Limitations of SMS
- 50 concurrent migrations of VMs per account by default (Customers can ask to increase the limit with AWS Support)
- Refer Here for the requirements
Migration Process
- Create an IAM user for Server Migration Refer Here
- Now install the connector Refer Here
- To Download the connector Refer Here
- Unzip the connector and import the vm by selecting hyper-v manager and import vm
- Now download and install ps script on the hyperv host Refer Here
- Now navigate to the ipaddress of appliance and follow the steps mentioned over here
- Now after the configuration is successful, Navigate to the connectors section in AWS Server Migration Service
- AWS will replicate the vms from hyper-v and creates the AMI (Amazon Machine Image) in the destination region once the replication job is successful.
