Automate Setup of AWS Application IT

Streamlining AWS Application Migration and Disaster Recovery Setup

Introduction:

In the world of cloud operations and migrations, efficiency is key. AWS Application Migration Service (AWS MGN) and AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery (AWS DRS) are powerful tools that facilitate server migrations and enhance application resilience on AWS. However, the manual setup and initialization required for these services can be complex and time-consuming, especially in enterprise environments where administrative permissions are tightly controlled.

In this blog, we'll explore how to automate the initialization and setup of AWS MGN and AWS DRS using AWS Service Catalog-based automation. This approach simplifies and streamlines the process, enabling teams to easily configure these services at scale without the need for extensive administrative permissions or external dependencies.

Solution Overview:

Our solution leverages AWS Service Catalog Products to automate the initialization and default replication configuration setup for AWS MGN and AWS DRS. This makes migration and disaster recovery capabilities more accessible to application teams within their respective AWS Accounts. The core of this approach lies in a Service Catalog Portfolio, which simplifies the sharing of service initialization automation across multiple AWS accounts within an organization

  • AWS MGN and AWS DRS Service Catalog Products: These products automate the setup and creation of default replication configurations for AWS MGN and AWS DRS services, reducing the manual effort required.
  • AWS Organizations Management Account: The AWS Organization's management account or a delegated administrator account serves as the central hub for sharing the AWS MGN and AWS DRS Service Catalog Products with other accounts within the organization.
  • Simplified Sharing: By using Service Catalog Portfolios, you can effortlessly share these automation resources across your AWS Organization, making it easier for various teams to access and utilize them effectively.
