Introduction

In today’s mix of local systems and cloud focus, moving tasks to AWS from internal servers or different clouds is key to staying up to date. But without proper tools, shifting them gets messy fast – so AWS MGN steps in to smooth things out.

AWS MGN makes shifting servers easier by handling the move automatically. It keeps things running smoothly without long pauses. Data copies constantly to avoid loss. Performance stays steady through the switch.

If you’re moving one Linux machine or lots of key apps, MGN gives a solid way that grows when needed while staying consistent every time.

What is AWS Application Migration Service (MGN)?

AWS MGN works right inside the cloud, copying data from your servers bit by bit as changes happen. It spins up test versions anytime you need checks before going live. When ready, it brings over full systems fast – downtime stays super low. Machines launch directly on AWS, built to match what you had running.
