Course Outline
1. Migration Strategy and Business Drivers
- Understanding the motivations behind cloud migration and defining success criteria.
- Exploration of migration patterns: rehost, replatform, refactor, repurchase, retire, and retain.
- Defining objectives, Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), and organizational roles for migration programs.
2. Discovery, Assessment, and Planning
- Conducting inventory collection, mapping dependencies, and grouping applications.
- Assessing cloud readiness and sizing target resources.
- Prioritizing applications, building migration waves, and performing risk assessments.
3. Network, Security, and Landing Zone Considerations
- VPC design, connectivity options (VPN, Direct Connect), and hybrid cloud patterns.
- Managing identity, access control, encryption, and governance during migration.
- Account strategy, establishing landing zones, and implementing baseline guardrails.
4. Server Migration with AWS Application Migration Service (MGN)
- Understanding MGN architecture, replication mechanisms, and configuration settings.
- Testing replicated servers, performing test cutovers, and validating applications.
- Executing final cutover procedures, conducting post-cutover checks, and planning rollbacks.
5. Database Migration and Data Transfer
- DMS concepts: full load, change data capture (CDC), and continuous replication.
- Schema conversion considerations and strategies for data validation.
- Bulk transfer options: DataSync, Snow family devices, and secure network transfers.
6. Application Modernization and Refactoring Options
- Criteria for replatforming or refactoring: containers, serverless architectures, and managed services.
- Design patterns for modernized architectures, such as microservices and event-driven models.
- Gradual migration approaches: the strangler pattern and hybrid coexistence strategies.
7. Testing, Cutover, and Operational Readiness
- Defining test plans, performance benchmarking, and QA validation.
- Coordinating cutovers, managing DNS, and implementing traffic switch strategies.
- Preparing operational runbooks, backup procedures, monitoring, and incident readiness.
8. Cost Optimization, Performance Tuning, and Post-Migration Tasks
- Rightsizing, savings plans, and cost governance after migration.
- Performance tuning, autoscaling, and storage lifecycle management.
- Conducting post-migration reviews, creating optimization roadmaps, and documenting lessons learned.
9. Hands-on Workshop: End-to-End Migration Scenario
- Performing discovery and planning a migration wave for sample workloads.
- Replicating a server with MGN and executing a test cutover.
- Migrating a sample database with DMS and validating results.
- Completing the final cutover, validating services, and documenting outcomes.
