MAP program tagging

The AWS Migration Acceleration Program (MAP) provides tools that are designed to reduce costs, boost productivity, improve operational resilience and increase business agility.

The DRS MAP program tagging is a feature that allows you to apply MAP program tags to your source servers and replication resources in order to offset the ongoing cost of protecting your servers.

Learn more about the AWS Migration Acceleration Program (MAP).

Select Add MAP tag to Launched Instances option, if you want Application Migration Service to automatically tag your launched instances with the tag key and value combination required for MAP program. Then, specify the MAP tag value that is used in your MAP tagging. Application Migration Service automatically tags your migrated resources with the key: “map-migrated”, and the value of the tag that you provided. For more details about the tag value that should be used here, please refer to the MAP tagging guide provided in your MAP term.

You can choose to add tags to:

  • One or more existing source servers and replication resources

  • All newly added source servers and replication resources
