Features (1)
  • Automated post-launch actions for migrations

    AWS Transform for Migrations now automates the configuration and execution of post-launch actions within the migration workflow. These actions can be defined at the account level and automatically applied to source servers across target accounts, including multi-account migrations.

Enhancements (1)
  • Streamlined post-launch action management

    Post-launch actions run via AWS Systems Manager (SSM) immediately after test or cutover launches. Users can leverage predefined actions or their own SSM documents, and the migration inventory file now includes a new structure for easier review and modification of per-source-server actions.

Notes (2)
  • End-to-end migration automation

    The AWS Transform for migrations agent now provides end-to-end automation for migration configuration, encompassing replication templates, EC2 launch templates, EC2 right-sizing, and post-launch actions, with options for source server-level customization.

  • Availability and documentation

    This new capability is available in all AWS Regions where AWS Transform is offered. Further details can be found in the AWS Transform User Guide.
