# AWS Application Migration Service (AWS MGN)
<a name="tools-account-mgn"></a>

[AWS Application Migration Service](https://aws.amazon.com/application-migration-service/) (AWS MGN) can be used in your MALZ Tools account through the `AWSManagedServicesMigrationRole` IAM role that is created automatically during Tools account provisioning. You can use AWS MGN to migrate applications and databases that run on supported versions of Windows and Linux [operating systems](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/mgn/latest/ug/Supported-Operating-Systems.html).

For the most up-to-date information on AWS Region support, see [the AWS Regional Services List](https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/global-infrastructure/regional-product-services/).

If your preferred AWS Region is not currently supported by AWS MGN, or the operating system on which your applications run is not currently supported by AWS MGN, consider using the [CloudEndure Migration](https://console.cloudendure.com/#/register/register) in your Tools account instead.

**Requesting AWS MGN Initialization**

AWS MGN must be [initialized](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/mgn/latest/ug/mandatory-setup.html) by AMS before first use. To request this for a new Tools account, submit a Management \$1 Other \$1 Other RFC from the Tools account with these details:

```
RFC Subject=Please initialize AWS MGN in this account
RFC Comment=Please click 'Get started' on the MGN welcome page here: 
    [ https://console.aws.amazon.com/mgn/home?region=*MALZ\$1PRIMARY\$1REGION*\$1/welcome](https://console.aws.amazon.com/mgn/home?region=AP-SOUTHEAST-2#/welcome) using all default values 
    to 'Create template' and complete the initialization process.
```

Once AMS successfully completes the RFC and initializes AWS MGN in your Tools account, you can use `AWSManagedServicesMigrationRole` to edit the default template for your requirements.
