Explanation

AWS Application Migration Service (MGN) automates the lift-and-shift migration of physical, virtual, or cloud-based servers to AWS. It converts the source server (e.g., a Windows Server VM) to run natively on AWS infrastructure, minimizing manual effort. AWS Application Discovery Service is used for collecting information about on-premises environments but doesn't perform the migration. AWS Config tracks configuration changes and compliance, not migrations. AWS DataSync is used to transfer data, not full server migrations.
