Transfer server tags

Focus mode
Transfer server tags - Application Migration Service

Choose whether you want AWS Application Migration Service to transfer any user-configured custom tags from your source servers onto your test or cutover instance.

If you click Yes, server tags will be transferred. These tags are attached to all source servers, all launched test and cutover instances, and all of the ephemeral resources that are created on your AWS Account during the normal operation of AWS Application Migration Service. These resources include:

  • EC2 instances

  • Conversion groups

  • Security groups

  • EBS volumes

  • Snapshots

Note

AWS Application Migration Service automatically adds system tags to all resources.

Note

Transfer server tags only copies tags associated with the source servers in the AWS Application Migration Service console, and does not copy the EC2 source server tags (in case of AWS to AWS migration)

If you choose the No option, server tags will not be transferred. You can always add tags from the Amazon EC2 console as described in this EC2 article.

Note

Tags that are added on the EC2 launch template will take precedence over tags that are transferred directly from the source server.
