Interface for accessing ApplicationDiscoveryService

Amazon Web Services Application Discovery Service

Amazon Web Services Application Discovery Service (Application Discovery Service) helps you plan application migration projects. It automatically identifies servers, virtual machines (VMs), and network dependencies in your on-premises data centers. For more information, see the Amazon Web Services Application Discovery Service FAQ.

Application Discovery Service offers three ways of performing discovery and collecting data about your on-premises servers:

Working With This Guide

This API reference provides descriptions, syntax, and usage examples for each of the actions and data types for Application Discovery Service. The topic for each action shows the API request parameters and the response. Alternatively, you can use one of the Amazon Web Services SDKs to access an API that is tailored to the programming language or platform that you're using. For more information, see Amazon Web Services SDKs.

  • Remember that you must set your Migration Hub home Region before you call any of these APIs.

  • You must make API calls for write actions (create, notify, associate, disassociate, import, or put) while in your home Region, or a HomeRegionNotSetException error is returned.

  • API calls for read actions (list, describe, stop, and delete) are permitted outside of your home Region.

  • Although it is unlikely, the Migration Hub home Region could change. If you call APIs outside the home Region, an InvalidInputException is returned.

  • You must call GetHomeRegion to obtain the latest Migration Hub home Region.

This guide is intended for use with the Amazon Web Services Application Discovery Service User Guide.

All data is handled according to the Amazon Web Services Privacy Policy. You can operate Application Discovery Service offline to inspect collected data before it is shared with the service.

Methods

Note:

Asynchronous operations (methods ending with Async) in the table below are for .NET 4.5 or higher. For .NET 3.5 the SDK follows the standard naming convention of BeginMethodName and EndMethodName to indicate asynchronous operations - these method pairs are not shown in the table below.

NameDescription

Your actual fees and savings depend on a variety of factors, including your actual usage of Amazon Web Services services, which might vary from the estimates provided in this report.

If you do not specify preferences or agentIds in the filter, a summary of all servers, applications, tags, and performance is generated. This data is an aggregation of all server data collected through on-premises tooling, file import, application grouping and applying tags.

A time range for exported agent data may be set by using startTime and endTime. Export of detailed agent data is limited to five concurrently running exports. Export of detailed agent data is limited to two exports per day.

If you enable ec2RecommendationsPreferences in preferences , an Amazon EC2 instance matching the characteristics of each server in Application Discovery Service is generated. Changing the attributes of the ec2RecommendationsPreferences changes the criteria of the recommendation.

Public Method StartImportTask(StartImportTaskRequest)

Starts an import task, which allows you to import details of your on-premises environment directly into Amazon Web Services Migration Hub without having to use the Amazon Web Services Application Discovery Service (Application Discovery Service) tools such as the Amazon Web Services Application Discovery Service Agentless Collector or Application Discovery Agent. This gives you the option to perform migration assessment and planning directly from your imported data, including the ability to group your devices as applications and track their migration status.

To start an import request, do this:

  1. Download the specially formatted comma separated value (CSV) import template, which you can find here: https://s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/templates-7cffcf56-bd96-4b1c-b45b-a5b42f282e46/import_template.csv.

  2. Fill out the template with your server and application data.

  3. Upload your import file to an Amazon S3 bucket, and make a note of it's Object URL. Your import file must be in the CSV format.

  4. Use the console or the StartImportTask command with the Amazon Web Services CLI or one of the Amazon Web Services SDKs to import the records from your file.

For more information, including step-by-step procedures, see Migration Hub Import in the Amazon Web Services Application Discovery Service User Guide.

There are limits to the number of import tasks you can create (and delete) in an Amazon Web Services account. For more information, see Amazon Web Services Application Discovery Service Limits in the Amazon Web Services Application Discovery Service User Guide.
