Getting started with AWS Migration Acceleration Program 2.0 - AWS Migration Acceleration Program 2.0 Tagging Guide

Getting started with AWS Migration Acceleration Program 2.0

As you move your existing on-premises workloads to AWS, the migrated workloads are identified through a tagging mechanism. Tagging is required because it is used to report the migrated workloads’ spend and generate appropriate incentives. MAP cannot provide these incentives if you do not activate Cost Allocation Tags or tag the migrated resources.

The MAP migration tracking mechanism uses native AWS functionality that you configure in the following steps:

  1. Tagging migrated workloads.

  2. Selecting the appropriate MAP 2.0 tag value for your map-migrated key. To learn how to select the right tag value, see Tagging key combinations.

Note

The Migration Acceleration Program requires that you tag resources with the map-migrated. This tag is automatically activated for you as a cost allocation tag. Tags that are automatically activated don't count towards your cost allocation tag quota. For more information, see Quotas and restrictions.

Ensure that Cost Explorer is enabled. To learn how to enable Cost Explorer, see Enabling Cost Explorer.
