AWS Server Migration Service
Product Update: We recommend AWS Application Migration Service (AWS MGN) as the primary migration service for lift-and-shift migrations. If AWS MGN is not available in a specific AWS Region, you can use AWS Server Migration Service (AWS SMS) APIs until March 31, 2023.
Introducing AWS Application Migration Service
AWS Application Migration Service (AWS MGN) is the primary migration service recommended for lift-and-shift migrations to AWS. Customers currently using Server Migration Service (SMS) are encouraged to switch to Application Migration Service for future migrations.
