Migration Evaluator is a tool that can help the customer creating a directional business case. I am not sure where it fits in your approach, but in the AWS Migration Methodology is part of the Assess phase to support the customer decision to migrate. You can use the Migration Evaluator collector to automatically get the inventory or you can import the data using a flat file if you customer already have the data or don't want to install the collector. Using migration evaluator you can also receive a Microsoft licensing assessment and recommendations on how to use existing licenses at AWS through Microsoft SQL core optimisation and dedicated hosts. You will obtain your assessment data within 48 hours via Quick Insights report after installing Migration Evaluator and obtain a business case within few business days upon completion of data collection
You can request the assessment via AWS or via an AWS Partner. You will receive an invite to access the Migration Evaluator console from there you can download the collector and manage the engagement.
Hope this can help
In addition to the above answer please make note of the below points.
- ME supports x86 based architecture . AIX servers are not supported .
- Migration Evaluator assessment is complimentary to both partners and customers.
- To run ME collector you will need a Windows Server 2016 or above (physical, virtual or AWS EC2 instance).
- ME runs in an managed account, you can't run the service in your own aws account .
- You can reach aws ME team on migration-assessment@amazon.com to trigger an assessment. Or you can contact AWS partners directly as mentioned in above answer.
