AWS DataSync is an online data movement and discovery service that simplifies and accelerates data migrations to AWS and helps you move data quickly and securely between on-premises storage, edge locations, other cloud providers, and AWS Storage.
AWS DataSync Discovery automatically and securely collects information about your on-premises storage over time, including performance metrics and capacity utilization. As data is collected, you can view the aggregated results in the DataSync console.
With fully-managed discovery, you can use console dashboards to quickly find storage resources that can be migrated to reduce costs or free up capacity.
Once a discovery job is complete, you can generate recommendations to help you select AWS Storage services that meet your performance needs and optimize costs.
With automated data collection and recommendations, AWS DataSync Discovery can minimize the time, effort, and costs associated with planning your data migrations to AWS. You can use recommendations to inform your budget planning and re-run discovery jobs to validate your assumptions as you approach your migration.
