Migration Evaluator install and Configuration

 

Ref : https://dev.to/aws-builders/migration-evaluator-install-and-configuration-32in

Migration Evaluator which is formerly known as TSO Logic is the AWS provided tool which can facilitate access to insights on data center assets(mainly the workload earmarked for migration)and accelerate business decision-making for migration to AWS at no cost. Following data collection from data center(on-premise) you will quickly receive an assessment including a projected cost estimate and savings of running your on-premises workloads in the AWS Cloud.

To gather the required information, we need to deploy the agentless Migration Evaluator data collector to monitor VMware, Hyper-V, and bare-metal infrastructure. AWS Migration Evaluator leverages TSO Logic technology as part of the assessment.
