DESCRIPTION

AWS Application Discovery Service

AWS Application Discovery Service helps you plan application migration projects. It automatically identifies servers, virtual machines (VMs), and network dependencies in your on-premises data centers. For more information, see the AWS Application Discovery Service FAQ (http://aws.amazon.com/application-discovery/faqs/). Application Discovery Service offers three ways of performing discovery and collecting data about your on-premises servers:

Agentless discovery is recommended for environments that use VMware vCenter Server. This mode doesn't require you to install an agent on each host. It does not work in non-VMware environments.
- Agentless discovery gathers server information regardless of the operating systems, which minimizes the time required for initial on-premises infrastructure assessment.
- Agentless discovery doesn't collect information about network dependencies, only agent-based discovery collects that information.

Agent-based discovery collects a richer set of data than agentless discovery by using the AWS Application Discovery Agent, which you install on one or more hosts in your data center.
- The agent captures infrastructure and application information, including an inventory of running processes, system performance information, resource utilization, and network dependencies.
- The information collected by agents is secured at rest and in transit to the Application Discovery Service database in the cloud.

AWS Partner Network (APN) solutions integrate with Application Discovery Service, enabling you to import details of your on-premises environment directly into Migration Hub without using the discovery connector or discovery agent.
- Third-party application discovery tools can query AWS Application Discovery Service, and they can write to the Application Discovery Service database using the public API.
- In this way, you can import data into Migration Hub and view it, so that you can associate applications with servers and track migrations.

Recommendations

We recommend that you use agent-based discovery for non-VMware environments, and whenever you want to collect information about network dependencies. You can run agent-based and agentless discovery simultaneously. Use agentless discovery to complete the initial infrastructure assessment quickly, and then install agents on select hosts to collect additional information.

Working With This Guide

This API reference provides descriptions, syntax, and usage examples for each of the actions and data types for Application Discovery Service. The topic for each action shows the API request parameters and the response. Alternatively, you can use one of the AWS SDKs to access an API that is tailored to the programming language or platform that you're using. For more information, see AWS SDKs (http://aws.amazon.com/tools/#SDKs).

Remember that you must set your Migration Hub home region before you call any of these APIs.
You must make API calls for write actions (create, notify, associate, disassociate, import, or put) while in your home region, or a HomeRegionNotSetException error is returned.
API calls for read actions (list, describe, stop, and delete) are permitted outside of your home region.
Although it is unlikely, the Migration Hub home region could change. If you call APIs outside the home region, an InvalidInputException is returned.
You must call GetHomeRegion to obtain the latest Migration Hub home region.

This guide is intended for use with the AWS Application Discovery Service User Guide (http://docs.aws.amazon.com/application-discovery/latest/userguide/).

All data is handled according to the AWS Privacy Policy (http://aws.amazon.com/privacy/). You can operate Application Discovery Service offline to inspect collected data before it is shared with the service.

METHODS

AssociateConfigurationItemsToApplication

ApplicationConfigurationId => Str
ConfigurationIds => ArrayRef[Str|Undef]

Each argument is described in detail in: Paws::Discovery::AssociateConfigurationItemsToApplication

This gives you the option to perform migration assessment and planning directly from your imported data, including the ability to group your devices as applications and track their migration status.

To start an import request, do this:

Download the specially formatted comma separated value (CSV) import template, which you can find here: https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/templates-7cffcf56-bd96-4b1c-b45b-a5b42f282e46/import_template.csv (https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/templates-7cffcf56-bd96-4b1c-b45b-a5b42f282e46/import_template.csv).
Fill out the template with your server and application data.
Upload your import file to an Amazon S3 bucket, and make a note of it's Object URL. Your import file must be in the CSV format.
Use the console or the StartImportTask command with the AWS CLI or one of the AWS SDKs to import the records from your file.

For more information, including step-by-step procedures, see Migration Hub Import (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/application-discovery/latest/userguide/discovery-import.html) in the AWS Application Discovery Service User Guide.

There are limits to the number of import tasks you can create (and delete) in an AWS account.
