Network connections is now discoverable with AWS Application Discovery Service Agentless Collector

By

Starting today, the AWS Application Discovery Service Agentless Collector supports the discovery of on-premises network connections, allowing you to understand your on-premises dependencies and plan your AWS migration. With the Agentless Collector, one virtual appliance deployed within your on-premises data center can discover and monitor the performance of VMware virtual machines, database metadata and utilization metrics, and now network connections.

Using network connection data to build applications is an important step when building a migration plan to the AWS cloud. By using AWS Migration Hub to explore the relationship and dependencies between servers, migration practitioners can be confident which servers should be part of a migration wave or application.

The network connections capability is now generally available, and can be used in all AWS Regions where AWS Application Discovery Service is available. Customers already running the Agentless Collector with active auto-updates only need to provide read-only credentials to enable the feature.

To learn more, read the user guide. Accelerate your migration with AWS Application Discovery Service today.
