Migrating an Oracle application and its underlying database to the cloud can be inherently complex.
AWS Application Migration Service accelerates the migration of applications to Amazon Web Services (AWS) by automatically replicating entire servers at the block level.
In this post, we show you the process of migrating Oracle E-Business Suite to AWS using Application Migration Service.
The high-level steps to implement this solution are as follows: create a VPC endpoint for Application Migration Service, create an AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) user and roles, generate temporary credentials for Application Migration Service, install the AWS Replication Agent in the source server, create and configure an Amazon EC2 launch template, activate post launch settings for AWS Systems Manager Agent (SSM Agent) installation, check data replication status in the AWS Management Console for Application Migration Service, launch an Application Migration Service test instance for Oracle E-Business Suite database and application servers, configure the Oracle E-Business Suite database tier on the target database server test instance, configure the Oracle E-Business Suite application tier on the target application server test instance, mark as ready for cutover in the Application Migration Service console, launch cutover Instances in the Application Migration Service console, configure the Oracle E-Business Suites database and application tier on the cutover instances, and finalize cutover in the Application Migration Service console.
AWS Application Migration Service uses EC2 launch templates to launch, test, and cutover EC2 instances for each source server.
After replication is complete, the server is launched in AWS, maintaining the original server’s configuration, allowing for a seamless transition to the cloud.
The AWS Replication Agent will be uninstalled from the source server within 10 minutes.
This post helps you to successfully migrate the environment, including the critical Oracle ASM disk group, from on premises to the AWS Cloud.
Using the Application Migration Service capabilities, you can achieve a seamless migration of both application and database tiers while effectively addressing the challenges of migrating Oracle ASM.
