Manual Application Discovery

I assume you are talking about the migration of on-prem systems to the AWS cloud

If you are looking at migrating to AWS, consider using the AWS Cloud Adoption Framework (AWS CAF) which provides guidelines for developing an efficient and effective plan for your cloud adoption journey.

Moreover, AWS offers various tools to support your migration:

• AWS Migration Hub: This provides a single location to track the progress of application migrations across multiple AWS and partner solutions.
• AWS Application Discovery Service: It collects and presents configuration, usage, and behavior data from your servers to help you better understand your workloads. This can be very useful if you want to automate the discovery process.
• AWS Database Migration Service (DMS): It helps you migrate databases to AWS quickly and securely. The source database remains fully operational during the migration, minimizing downtime to applications that rely on the database.
• AWS Server Migration Service (SMS): This is an agentless service that makes it easier and faster for you to migrate thousands of on-premises workloads to AWS.
• AWS CloudEndure Migration: It simplifies, expedites, and reduces the cost of cloud migration by offering a highly automated lift-and-shift solution.
