Enterprises migrating SAP workloads to AWS are looking for an as-is migration solution that is readily available.

It is a SaaS service offering from AWS to migrate workloads from any source (physical, virtual, or private/public cloud) to AWS, from one AWS region to another AWS account, and across different AWS accounts.

With AWS Application Migration Service, you can maintain normal business operations throughout the replication process. It continuously replicates source servers, which means little to no performance impact. Continuous replication also makes it easy to conduct non-disruptive tests and shortens cutover windows.

Reduced costs

This is because it can be used to lift and shift any application from any source infrastructure that runs supported operating systems (OS).
