Overview
With Cloud Migration Factory on AWS, you can automate manual processes and efficiently integrate multiple migration tools. This automated AWS Solution offers orchestration platform and predefined pipeline templates to improve performance and prevent long cutover windows throughout the migration process. The solution uses AWS Application Migration Service (AWS MGN) to migrate your workloads to AWS at scale.
AWS Professional Services, AWS Partners, and other enterprises currently use this solution to automate large-scale migrations.
Benefits
Simplify, expedite, and reduce the cost of a large cloud migration through an automated solution.
Automate the small, manual tasks inherent in large migrations, so you can migrate more quickly and efficiently while reducing the opportunity for human error.
Orchestrate migration activities through a web interface and pre-defined pipeline templates.
With full flexibility by design, you can customize the data schema and develop your own automation and runbooks based on your requirements.
Technical details
You can automatically deploy this architecture using the implementation guide and the accompanying AWS CloudFormation template.
Step 1
Amazon API Gateway receives migration requests from the migration automation server through Rest APIs.
Step 2
AWS Lambda functions provide the necessary services for you to log in to the web interface, perform the necessary administrative functions to manage the migration, and connect to third-party APIs to automate the migration process.
The user Lambda function ingests the migration metadata into an Amazon DynamoDB table. Standard HTTP status codes are returned to you through the Rest API from API Gateway. An Amazon Cognito user pool is used for user authentication to the web interface and Rest APIs, and you can optionally configure it to authenticate against external Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) identity providers.
The tools Lambda functions processes external Rest APIs and calls external tool functions, such as AWS Application Migration Service (AWS MGN) for AWS migration. The tools Lambda function also calls Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) for launching EC2 instances and calls AWS Systems Manager to run automation scripts on the migration automation server.
Step 3
The migration metadata stored in DynamoDB is routed to the AWS MGN API to initiate Rehost migration jobs and launch servers. If your migration pattern is Replatform to Amazon EC2, the tools Lambda function launches CloudFormation templates in the target AWS account to launch EC2 instances.

This solution offers pipeline functionality that enables complete management of your pipelines and tasks through a single visual pipeline interface. From this interface, you can manage and monitor your pipelines in real-time, without navigating to any other service or screen. Pipelines can also be composed within the web interface using a visual composer.
In this course, you will learn about the features, benefits, and technical implementation of the solution.
In this course, you will learn key concepts, basic architecture, and implementation approaches for AWS MGN. A step-by-step walk-through guides you through the entire process of performing a migration with AWS MGN. This training is recommended if you are actively working on migration projects with the service or are assisting customers in doing so.
