The document discusses AWS Server Migration Service which automates migration of live server volumes from on-premises to AWS. It describes key benefits like automating incremental replication, minimizing downtime, and ease of use. An example migration for Technip is provided where SMS helped reduce complexity and costs in migrating 400 servers from VMware to AWS globally.

What customers have told us:
Data center migrations can involve thousands of servers
Large-scale server migration is a long and complex project with significant manual
labor
Less transparency onto migration process is challenging
Difficulty of testing server migrations iteratively makes them less confident about
migration process
Long server downtime at cutover incurs additional business loss

Key benefits of AWS Server Migration Service
Automates an incremental
replication of live server
volumes to AWS
Orchestrate large-scale
migrations, and track the
progress easily
Perform migrations faster
while minimizing network
bandwidth
Migrate servers in a cost
effective manner
Minimize server downtime
at cutover
Easy to get started

AWS Server Migration Service Overview
• Support VMware VMs migration with
the initial release. (supports for other
hypervisors coming soon)
• Agentless VM migration
• Capture incremental change made to
on-premises VMs and automatically
transfer to AWS
• Migrate a group of VMs
simultaneously and orchestrates
multiple migrations
• AWS Management Console and
API/CLI access
• Launch EC2 instances from Amazon
Machine Images (AMI)
Source: on-premises server AWS Server Migration Service Target: Amazon Machine Image

How to get started with AWS Server Migration Service
1. Deploy the AWS Connector (standalone VM) on VMware vCenter
2. Import vCenter VM inventory into the AWS Management Console
3. Choose VMs you want to migrate to AWS in the console
4. Configure replication for selected group of VMs (initial replication time,
replication interval, license type)
5. Start replication and track the progress
6. For each VM, you will see the list of AMIs created at each replication interval

Key features of AWS Server Migration Service
• End-to-end automation of replication from on-premises server to AMI
• Create and manage a customized replication scheduled designed for large-scale
migrations and track the progress in the AWS Management Console
• Incremental replication of live server volumes between every 12-24 hours
• Secure transfer of replicated server volumes over TLS
• Import/delete server catalog in the AWS Management Console
• On-demand replication feature in addition to periodic incremental replication

Technip Datacenter Migration
A world leader in project management, engineering and construction for the energy
industry (31,000 People - 45 Countries)
Need to proactively plan for expiring hardware – all global datacenters
Global security review found some level of security risks across all DMZ sites (50+
separate sites – 400+ servers)
Challenge: Non-standard configurations, difficult to diagnose, troubleshoot and
manage
Objective: Consolidate to 6-8 regional DMZs, increasing consistency, security and
managability.

Migration Solution
To design an Infrastructure as Code solution that would allow consistent deployment of
DMZ resources globally in compliance with standards and security policies
• Worked with premiere AWS consultant (Flux7) to design solution based on best
practices. Automation of VPC creation and basic connectivity in compliance with
standards.
• “Scratch” build, AWS Import and 3rd party tools to move workloads to new
environments.
• New service – Server Migration Service (SMS) – available end of October
• Testing showed a substantial decrease in complexity and increase in flexibility using
SMS.

DMZ Project Today
• Globally, 400-500 servers with widely varying configurations will be migrated in
2017
• Specialized Technip team for service delivery globally
• Testing – SMS replication approach allows for easy “sandbox” setup
• Phased roll out – Phases not only regional…but systems within a region
• SMS will reduce man-hours to move workloads from VMware to AWS…20% to
40% reduction. Single AWS GUI simplifies the entire process.
