Today, AWS announces the public preview of a new storage migration capability for AWS Transform that enables application owners, database administrators, and cloud migration teams to migrate block storage workloads from any on-premises or cloud source to Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP (FSx for ONTAP), alongside the existing Amazon EBS option. AWS Transform for migrations is an agentic AI service that automates the discovery, planning, and migration of workloads, accelerating infrastructure modernization with increased speed and confidence. FSx for ONTAP is a fully managed shared storage service built on NetApp’s ONTAP file system, allowing you to migrate on-premises applications that rely on NetApp ONTAP or other storage appliances to AWS without having to change how you manage your data.
Customers migrating to AWS have traditionally managed storage migration separately, using additional tools and workflows. With this new capability, AWS Transform replicates block storage data directly to FSx for ONTAP volumes as part of the same migration wave that handles compute and network, eliminating the need for intermediate storage platforms, separate migration tools, and the additional cost and risk they introduce. Whether migrating from NetApp ONTAP or any other storage platform, including block storage or NFS datastores in VMware environments, customers access a fully managed service that combines ONTAP’s enterprise capabilities with the scalability and resiliency of AWS.
To get started, visit AWS Transform for migrations. To learn more about the storage destination service, see the Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP product page.
