Configuring AWS Application Migration Service Settings

AWS Application Migration Service uses replication settings to determine how data will be replicated from your source servers to AWS. The following documentation explains how to configure your initial replication template and how to set individual server replication settings.

You must configure the replication template upon first use of AWS Application Migration Service. The replication template determines how your servers will be replicated to AWS through a variety of settings, including Replication Server instance type, Amazon Elastic Block Store volume type, Amazon EBS encryption, security groups, data routing, and tags. The settings configured in the replication template are automatically passed down to every server you add to AWS Application Migration Service.

Once you have configured your Replication template, you can make changes to individual servers or a group of servers by editing their replication settings within the Server Details View.

You can also configure optional post-launch settings that will automate target instance deployment and prepare your migrated servers for disaster recovery with AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery.
