Course Outline
1. Migration Strategy and Business Objectives
- Drivers for cloud migration and definitions of success
- Migration approaches: rehost, replatform, refactor, repurchase, retire, retain
- Establishing goals, KPIs, and organizational responsibilities for migration programs
2. Discovery, Evaluation, and Planning
- Gathering inventory, mapping dependencies, and clustering applications
- Evaluating cloud readiness and determining target resource sizing
- Prioritizing applications, structuring migration waves, and conducting risk analysis
3. Network, Security, and Landing Zone Frameworks
- VPC architecture, connectivity solutions (VPN, Direct Connect), and hybrid models
- Managing identity, access, encryption, and governance during the transition
- Account strategies, landing zone configurations, and foundational guardrails
4. Server Migration via AWS Application Migration Service (MGN)
- MGN architecture, replication processes, and configuration settings
- Testing replicated servers, executing trial cutovers, and verifying application integrity
- Final cutover procedures, post-cutover validation, and contingency planning
5. Database Migration and Data Transmission
- DMS fundamentals: initial load, change data capture (CDC), and ongoing replication
- Schema conversion aspects and data validation techniques
- Bulk transfer methods: DataSync, Snow family devices, and secure network transmission
6. Application Modernization and Refactoring Pathways
- Criteria for replatforming or refactoring: containers, serverless, and managed services
- Architectural design patterns for modernized systems (microservices, event-driven)
- Incremental migration techniques: strangler pattern and hybrid coexistence
7. Testing, Cutover, and Operational Preparedness
- Formulating test strategies, performance benchmarking, and QA verification
- Coordinating cutover, DNS management, and traffic switching tactics
- Operational runbooks, backup strategies, monitoring, and incident response readiness
8. Cost Optimization, Performance Tuning, and Post-Migration Activities
- Rightsizing, savings plans, and cost governance post-migration
- Performance optimization, autoscaling, and storage lifecycle administration
- Post-migration review, optimization roadmap, and documentation of key takeaways
9. Practical Workshop: Comprehensive Migration Simulation
- Conduct discovery and outline a migration wave for representative workloads
- Replicate a server using MGN and perform a trial cutover
- Migrate a sample database with DMS and verify the results
- Execute final cutover, confirm service availability, and record outcomes
