The Windows Web Application Migration Assistant for AWS Elastic Beanstalk is an interactive PowerShell utility that migrates ASP.NET and ASP.NET Core applications from on-premises IIS Windows servers to Elastic Beanstalk.
The migration assistant is available as an open-source project on GitHub, and is able to migrate an entire website and its configuration to Elastic Beanstalk with minimal or no changes to the application. After the assistant migrates the application, Elastic Beanstalk automatically handles the ongoing details of capacity provisioning, load balancing, auto-scaling, application health monitoring, and applying patches and updates to the underlying platform. If you need to also migrate a database associated with your web application, you can separately use AWS Database Migration Service, CloudEndure Migration, or the Windows to Linux Replatforming Assistant for Microsoft SQL Server Databases.
To get started, download the migration assistant from GitHub. Interested parties can also contribute changes and improvements in the form of pull requests.
