When you migrate your workloads to AWS by using AWS Application Migration Service (AWS MGN), you might have to lift and shift (rehost) your Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) instances and change the license from the default Bring Your Own License (BYOL) model to an AWS License Included (LI) model during migration. AWS MGN supports a scalable approach that uses Amazon Machine Image (AMI) IDs. This pattern describes how to accomplish the license change on RHEL servers during the rehost migration at scale. It also explains how to change the license for a RHEL system that’s already running on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2).
