Manage migration waves

Focus mode
Manage migration waves - Application Migration Service

The Waves page lists all the waves that have been added to AWS Application Migration Service (AWS MGN). The Waves page allows you to manage your waves and perform a variety of commands for one or more waves (such as controlling replication and launching test and cutover instances).

Interacting with the Waves page

The Waves page shows a list of waves. Each row on the list represents a single wave.

The Waves page provides key information for each wave under each of the columns on the page.

The columns include:

  • Selector column – This blank checkbox selector column allows you to select one or more waves. When a wave is selected, you can interact with the wave through the Actions menu, Edit, and Delete buttons. Selected waves are highlighted.

  • Wave name – This column shows the unique wave name for each wave.

  • Migration status – This column shows the migration status for each wave.

    • Not started – If none of the wave's associated servers has started replication yet.

    • In progress – At least one of the wave's associated applications has started replication and not all of its applications completed migration.

    • Completed – If all the wave associated applications completed migration (have been cutover).

  • Alerts – This column shows whether any alerts exist for the wave.

    A wave that has at least one application that is experiencing significant issues, such as a stall, will display a Stalled status.

    An wave that has at least one application that is experiencing a temporary issue such as lag or backlog will display a Lagging status.

    A healthy active wave will display a Healthy status.

    Archived waves do not display any alerts.

  • Number of applications – This column shows the total number of applications associated with each wave.
