10.3 Requirements for Migrating Workloads from AWS to Azure

  • Ensure that the AWS Security Group allows incoming traffic for ports required for the migration of source workloads as described in Section 2.6.2, Requirements for Migration.

  • AWS automatically adds the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) port (TCP/3389) and Secure Shell (SSH) port (TCP/22) in the AWS Security Group for the source workload VMs. You must manually add other ports to the source workload’s AWS Security Group that are required by PlateSpin Migrate to provide migration services, such as Port 3725 for replication traffic and Port 443 for HTTPS traffic.

  • For information about workload login requirements for migration, see the Windows and Linux source workload login requirements in Table 21-2, Guidelines for Machine Type and Credentials for Source Workloads.

  • When you configure a workload migration, ensure that you enable Encrypt Data Transfer to transfer data securely between the source workload in AWS and the PlateSpin Replication Environment in Azure over the public Internet. See Section 27.12.2, Encrypt Data Transfer Using Migrate Web Interface.

  • Install the Migrate Agent on the source workload, then register the workload with the cloud-based PlateSpin Migrate server. See Registering Workloads and Discovering Details with Migrate Agent.

    To download the Migrate Agent, launch the PlateSpin Migrate Web Interface and click the Downloads tab. For information about installing and using the Migrate Agent, see Migrate Agent Utility.
