8.1 Deployment for Migration to Amazon Web Services

You can deploy a PlateSpin Migrate server on premise in your data center with the source workloads. A site-to-site VPN connection is required between the data center and your account in the AWS cloud. Figure 8-1 shows the location of various components in your AWS migration environment and the communications between them. See Section 8.3, Planning For Migrating Workloads to Amazon Web Services.

NOTE:Figure 8-1 depicts automated discovery and the network requirements for Windows and Linux workloads. You can alternatively use Migrate Agent on the source workload to register the workload and send its inventory details to PlateSpin Migrate server using HTTPS (TCP/443).
