AWS App2Container (A2C) is a command line tool that helps transform existing applications running in virtual machines into containers, without needing any code changes. A2C discovers applications running on a server, identifies dependencies, and generates relevant artifacts for seamless deployment to Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) and Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS).
This pattern provides the steps for remotely migrating on-premises Java applications deployed on an application server to AWS Fargate or Amazon EKS by using App2Container through the worker machine.
The worker machine can be used in the following use cases:
Docker installation is not allowed or not available on the application servers where the Java applications are running.
You must manage the migration of multiple applications deployed on different physical or virtual servers.
