Coordinate and automate large scale migrations to the AWS Cloud using the Cloud Migration Factory on AWS solution

Publication date: June 2020 (last update: April 2024)

The Cloud Migration Factory on AWS solution is designed to coordinate and automate manual processes for large-scale migrations involving a substantial number of servers. This solution helps enterprises improve performance and prevents long cutover windows by providing an orchestration platform for migrating workloads to AWS at scale. AWS Professional Services, AWS Partners, and other enterprises have already used this solution to help customers migrate thousands of servers to the AWS Cloud.

This solution helps you to:

  • Integrate the many different types of tools that support migration, such as discovery tools, migration tools, and configuration management database (CMDB) tools.

  • Automate migrations that involve many small, manual tasks, which take time to run and are slow and hard to scale.

For a complete end-to-end deployment guide using this solution, refer to Automating large-scale server migrations with Cloud Migration Factory in the AWS Prescriptive Guidance Cloud Migration Factory Guide.

This implementation guide discusses architectural considerations and configuration steps for deploying the Cloud Migration Factory on AWS solution in the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloud. It includes links to AWS CloudFormation templates that launch and configure the AWS services required to deploy this solution using AWS best practices for security and availability.

The guide is intended for IT infrastructure architects, administrators, and DevOps professionals who have practical experience architecting in the AWS Cloud.
