Pros & Cons summary

AWS Application Migration Service streamlines migration by automatically choosing suitable compute instances and ensuring minimal downtime. CloudEndure is user-friendly but defaults to small servers and lacks a disaster recovery feature. Live Migration is free yet faces challenges with target setups. Enhanced cloud-side logging and easier navigation for launch templates would improve usability. Despite these drawbacks, the efficient block-to-block replication and overall ease of use make these services appealing to tech buyers.

AWS Application Migration Service makes it so you don't have to take an image of your VM on-site and find the right equivalent compute instance within AWS. It does that automatically in the background.

I think it is important to have more logs, and more details would be great because we have just logged on the client's side, but there weren't many details on the cloud.
