Course Outline
1. Strategic Planning and Business Rationale
- Understanding the drivers behind cloud migration and defining success metrics.
- Exploring core migration patterns: rehost, replatform, refactor, repurchase, retire, and retain.
- Setting clear objectives, defining KPIs, and allocating organizational roles for the migration effort.
2. Discovery, Evaluation, and Preparation
- Gathering inventory data, mapping dependencies, and categorizing applications.
- Evaluating cloud readiness and estimating the required resource capacity.
- Prioritizing applications, structuring migration waves, and conducting risk assessments.
3. Network, Security, and Landing Zone Setup
- VPC architecture, connectivity methods (VPN, Direct Connect), and hybrid integration models.
- Managing identity, access controls, encryption, and governance throughout the migration.
- Defining account strategies, configuring landing zones, and establishing baseline guardrails.
4. Server Migration via AWS Application Migration Service (MGN)
- Understanding MGN architecture, replication mechanics, and configuration settings.
- Testing replicated environments, executing test cutovers, and verifying application functionality.
- Carrying out final cutovers, performing post-migration checks, and preparing rollback plans.
5. Database Migration and Data Transfer
- Key DMS concepts: initial full loads, change data capture (CDC), and continuous replication.
- Navigating schema conversion and implementing robust data validation methods.
- Utilizing bulk transfer solutions such as DataSync, Snow family devices, and secure network transfers.
6. Application Modernization and Refactoring Pathways
- Determining when to replatform or refactor using containers, serverless technologies, and managed services.
- Designing modern architectural patterns, including microservices and event-driven systems.
- Adopting gradual migration techniques like the strangler pattern and hybrid coexistence.
7. Testing, Cutover, and Operational Preparation
- Developing test strategies, conducting performance benchmarks, and performing QA validation.
- Coordinating cutovers, managing DNS updates, and implementing traffic switching strategies.
- Establishing operational runbooks, backup routines, monitoring systems, and incident response readiness.
8. Cost Efficiency, Performance Optimization, and Post-Migration Activities
- Implementing rightsizing, savings plans, and ongoing cost governance after migration.
- Optimizing performance through autoscaling and managing storage lifecycle policies.
- Conducting post-migration reviews, defining optimization roadmaps, and documenting lessons learned.
9. Practical Workshop: Complete Migration Simulation
- Carrying out discovery processes and planning a migration wave for representative workloads.
- Replicating servers using MGN and performing a test cutover.
- Transferring a sample database via DMS and verifying the results.
- Finalizing the cutover, validating services, and recording the outcomes.
