How To Migrate a Server to AWS Cloud Services

In this video we walk through the steps to migrate your on-premises physical or virtual server to AWS. I found the simplest way to do that was by using AWS' Application Migration Services. With AMS you can upload the server and test it while your production server is running on-premises. After testing you can then cutover to the AWS server and shutdown the on-premises server.

Troubleshooting:
You'll notice after I start the migration client a staging error pops up on the AWS console. Waiting a few minutes usually resolves this or rebooting the source server.
If you get a certificate error while running the migration client my fix was to login to the AWS console and run the migration from the source server. If you're not able to do that you can use this fix.
If you are migrating a domain joined server I would suggest you read this first.

New to AWS as only so far setup a test SQL instance. Your video was easy to follow and well explained. When you migrated the on premise machine did AWS automatically create the new server instance and volumes etc? Does it show the costs to run the finalised live server at that stage? Thank you.

how to do it with a ubuntu server? i need the .NET framework?

[shaistasanober]

Once I do finalize cutover..Will my source server will be impacted? Or I'll be able to use that particular old source server with it's own IP address after cutover as well?

How did you login to instance when you selected no key in template in after setting server archive

Nice demo thanks.
is the server licence also replicated/copied to the Destination server on AWS?

[mohamedsalah-ylqk]

Can replication done over AWS site to Site VPN?! and which policies IAM user should have to use this service?

[rakshandhakannappan]

Hi, why are we enabling RDP on the source server? Thank you

My instance is on a test stage. But an on-prem VM is still having new data on it. How can I make sure all the data is synced before the cutover?

[siddhantsingh]

Im having an issue migrating from Digital Ocean to AWS. when i run a test instance, the instance doesnt have internet connection. when i check inside the instance, it seems it copied the DNS and other network config from Digital Ocean therefore its not accessing the internet. Any tutorial you can share on how to resolve this?

[Kanch]

How come you never associated a key pair with the instance?

Please make a video on how to migrate data from one cloud to another (AWS to Azure or gcp) in a fastest way

1:30 "First I need to run a bait switch" What? 1:40 "Dotnet frame work 3.5 is already installed" Is this on your own machine? 2:00 "RDP port is open on the fire wall" What?
