What is AWS Migration Hub?
AWS Migration Hub is a central service for planning, monitoring, and coordinating cloud migrations. It aggregates migration status from various AWS tools and partner tools into a single console, allowing you to track the progress of your entire migration landscape.
The service solves the problem of fragmented migration workflows: instead of checking status in multiple tools, Migration Hub provides a unified view of all migration activities with progress tracking, dependency visualization, and reporting.
Core Features
- Central Dashboard: Overview of all migrations from a single console
- Tool Aggregation: Integration with AWS Application Migration Service, Database Migration Service, and partner tools
- Strategy Recommendations: AI-powered recommendations for migration strategies per application
- Application Discovery: Automatic detection of on-premises servers and dependencies
- Refactor Spaces: Management of refactoring projects for microservices architectures
Typical Use Cases
Datacenter Migration: For large-scale datacenter migrations with hundreds of servers, Migration Hub provides necessary visibility. You can see at a glance which servers are already migrated, which are in progress, and where issues occur.
Application Modernization: For modernization projects, Migration Hub combines discovery data with Strategy Recommendations to make data-driven decisions about Rehost, Replatform, or Refactor approaches.
Multi-Team Coordination: When multiple teams work on migrations in parallel, Migration Hub serves as the central source of truth for overall progress and enables management reporting.
Benefits
- Free to use, no additional charges
- Reduces coordination overhead in complex migrations
- Provides data-driven foundations for migration strategy decisions
- Integrates seamlessly with the AWS migration ecosystem
