Some of the functionalities are increasing day by day. Some points are yet to be explored according to the requirements. While working with others, I will get some insights and create more challenges to improve. It will be helpful for me to enhance my skills in the AWS server mode because different challenges make a person perfect. AWS is a very good server with flexibility and 99% uptime. Most applications and e-commerce are also using AWS servers. We always advise using the AWS server because it is a very good server with 99% uptime. We can start with the initial level at the initial price. We can upgrade the AWS server. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.
I rate the overall solution a ten out of ten. To those planning to use it, the tool provides precautionary measures during the migration process, and if everything works fine, one can conduct tests in the production environment.

I would recommend it because it's a good tool to migrate from a conventional data center to the cloud. It's one of the best options available. For AWS Migration, discovery, and pre-migration skills are required before migration. So, I suggest adding a discovery tool to the toolset, sir. Previously, I used Azure migrate, which had a discovery portal. However, AWS does not have this feature. Overall, I would rate the solution an eight out of ten.
We used the native AWS cloud migration tools in my previous engagement, so all AWS native capabilities in terms of database and server migrations. My current project does not have a good cloud footprint, e.g. it's all on-premises, but in my previous project, we did some cloud migrations on the server and database side, and that was six months ago. We used AWS Server Migration Service. We used its latest version. What we did was to integrate AWS Server Migration Service with the on-premises environment, then we migrated to AWS. We established a direct connection with AWS, then we started migrating the on-premises workloads into the cloud. We only used a few of the services in server and database migration, so we used the native tools AWS was offering. We found the RDS (relational database service) and computing capabilities of AWS really interesting. It's very hard to estimate how many users we have for AWS Server Migration Service, because I belong to a company with 200,000 employees all over the globe, so I can't give a rough number. We have a small team of 10 to 15 people who handle the maintenance of this solution. How AWS Server Migration Service works is that once you've set up the database migration and server migration, it constantly syncs with your on-premises environment, e.g. it keeps talking to your on-premises environment and does Delta sync continuously, at a scheduled frequency. When we need to do a cutover and when we migrate, it happens within minutes up to a few hours, depending on how the Delta is. AWS Server Migration Service from a migration cutover point of view, requires only minutes and hours, but the setup has to be continuously syncing with your on-premises environment. I'll certainly recommend this solution, and we have been advising this to our clients. They have a roadmap of moving to cloud towards the end of this year, so they will start doing it, and I imagine that AWS is the vendor of choice, because of the nature of the workloads they have. AWS Server Migration Service is seamless and mature. The choice of the customer could depending on the cost comparisons between AWS and Azure. For Microsoft workloads, Azure scores well, e.g. from a costing point of view, but for resiliency, stability, and for Linux workloads, we found AWS Server Migration Service to be rock-solid, and Azure couldn't compare to it. I'm giving AWS Server Migration Service a score of ten out of ten. We are partners with AWS, Azure, and GCP.
Cloud Migration Software is a category of tools designed to facilitate the seamless transition of applications, data, and infrastructure from on-premises environments to cloud platforms. These solutions offer a range of features and capabilities to simplify and automate the migration process, ensuring minimal disruption and downtime. Key solutions within this category include:
- Discovery and assessment tools: Identify and analyze existing on-premises resources to determine their suitability...
