Frequently asked questions - Best practices for assessing applications to be retired during a migration to the AWS Cloud

Frequently asked questions

This section provides answers to commonly raised questions about retiring applications.

My applications are containerized. Can I still adopt a data-driven approach to migration?

Yes, by using the port and IP address to distinguish between different containers.

How long should I run discovery tooling?

The duration depends on an individual application. Four weeks should be enough. However, for batch applications that run only once a quarter, you’ll need to plan accordingly.
