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.

Thanks and the way you explain the entire process is really helpful.
Thanks for the Demo. Its really helpful this way.
Thanks for the video, it is very helpful.
YOU HAVE SAVED ME!
Thank you!
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.
Thanks for the comment. AWS does create the instance and volumes for you, but you'll have to calculate the costs using the calculator. calculator.aws/#/addService
@@techhelpfornonprofits ok thank you.
How did you login to instance when you selected no key in template in after setting server archive
@SARTHAK thanks for the question. Remember you're importing an existing server that already has login credentials. I used those to login.
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?
@shaistasanober4592, it suggested to shutdown the source server. You're going to run into problems if you have a VPN connection connecting your on-prem to AWS. I would suggest powering it up offnet, rename it and change the IP address if you want to continue using it.
Hi, why are we enabling RDP on the source server? Thank you
@rakshandhakannappan9568 when you sync your source server to AWS you need to have the ability to remote into the server/instance on AWS.
how to do it with a ubuntu server? i need the .NET framework?
Can replication done over AWS site to Site VPN?! and which policies IAM user should have to use this service?
Mohamed salah - I don't think you can specify using the VPN, but the data in transit is encrypted if that's what you're worried about. Not sure what you're asking with IAM user. You can use any IAM identity that has the ability to replicate.
Nice demo thanks.
is the server licence also replicated/copied to the Destination server on AWS?
@user-pn8zz2nf7w Thank you and great question. The server license does not travel with the server unless you launch it on dedicated hardware. So you'll be using the license that AWS provides.
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?
@TuNguyen-gh4lv I would suggest you drop a small file onto your on-prem server, wait for awhile, power up your server that is in test stage and check to see if the file is there.
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?
Sounds like it coudn't find the nic. I would suggest looking at the Network section for the test instance, add a nic if needed and make the necessary changes. If you start video at 10:35 you'll see I had to add a public IP.
I have onprem proxmox server just wondering is it supports for this migration?
@melvin_broh I'm not familar with proxmox. I would contact their support to see if they might have a prebuilt version in the AWS Marketplace.
Hi my conversion server is getting terminated as soon it status checks are done and not launching my launh/cutover instance.
anyone who know how to fix thsi ????
@siddhantsingh7724 if you're still having this issue have you tried this on a different aws region? Also, might try turning on termination protection for the conversion server if you're able.
replica takes how much time, it's applicable for free tire accounts? practice lab
The replication time depends on your Internet connection and amount of data. In my test I think it took about an hour. The service is free for first 90 days or 2,160 hours of service.
How come you never associated a key pair with the instance?
Because these are Windows instances. If you were using Linux would would need the keypair to login.
Please make a video on how to migrate data from one cloud to another (AWS to Azure or gcp) in a fastest way
Good suggestion Rishabh. I'll add it to my list.
can you tell the cost for migrating 60GB server please
@harisherupothu4275 it really depends on what size you want the instance. If you just want the cost of a 60GB volume that would be .08 cents x 60 = $4.80US per month. You can get a good idea about costs here calculator.aws
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?
"First I need to run updates", "yup, 3.5 is already installed", "running on VM", "can enable remote desktop or verify firewall ports are open for port 3389"
