Planning Your Migration Project

Following the successful launch of AWS Application Migration (MGN), we plan to start restricting the CloudEndure MigrationThe CloudEndure solution that allows you to move data, applications, and other business elements from an onsite network or a cloud environment to another physical location or cloud environment. service starting June 30, 2022.

Before you start configuring and running a CloudEndure MigrationThe CloudEndure solution that allows you to move data, applications, and other business elements from an onsite network or a cloud environment to another physical location or cloud environment. ProjectA Project is the basic organizational unit for running a CloudEndure solution., take the following guidelines into consideration:

• Identify the SourceThe location of the Source machine; Currently either a specific Region or Other Infrastructure. machines you want to migrate.
• Install AgentsThe Agent is a software program that is installed on machines in the Source location that need to be migrated or replicated to the Target location. on the SourceThe location of the Source machine; Currently either a specific Region or Other Infrastructure. machines with the --no-replication argument, to prevent the replication from starting automatically.
• Group the SourceThe location of the Source machine; Currently either a specific Region or Other Infrastructure. machines into waves. Each wave should include the machines you want to migrate together.
• Decide when you would like to perform the actual MigrationThe CloudEndure solution that allows you to move data, applications, and other business elements from an onsite network or a cloud environment to another physical location or cloud environment. of each wave.
  

  Note: When scheduling your Cutover, ensure that you allow enough time for Data Replication to complete and for all necessary testing to be carried out.

  Note: Ensure that you review the Supported Operating Systems documentation and all related notes when planning your Project.

• Start the replication of the SourceThe location of the Source machine; Currently either a specific Region or Other Infrastructure. machines of the waves, according to your MigrationThe CloudEndure solution that allows you to move data, applications, and other business elements from an onsite network or a cloud environment to another physical location or cloud environment. schedule and the data that each wave has.

Important! The expiration date of MigrationThe CloudEndure solution that allows you to move data, applications, and other business elements from an onsite network or a cloud environment to another physical location or cloud environment. licenses is 90 days. During this time frame, you need to install the AgentsThe Agent is a software program that is installed on machines in the Source location that need to be migrated or replicated to the Target location. on your SourceThe location of the Source machine; Currently either a specific Region or Other Infrastructure. machines, and perform a TestThe same for Migration and Disaster Recovery. A process that is initiated manually. Launches Target machines on the Target location, and marks the tested machines on the Console as ready for Live Migration/Disaster Recovery. It is recommended to initiate a Test after the initial replication is completed. When a Test is initiated, an updated snapshot is created on the Staging Aaea. From this snapshot, a disk is created. or a CutoverThe process of transitioning from one system to a replacement system. to migrate the machines to the TargetThe location where the Replication Server will be located and where Target machines will be created (as a result of Test, Cutover or Recovery). infrastructure.
