Course Outline
1. Strategic Migration Frameworks and Business Imperatives
- Understanding the drivers of cloud adoption and defining success metrics
- Exploring migration patterns: rehosting, replatforming, refactoring, repurchasing, retiring, and retaining
- Establishing clear objectives, KPIs, and organizational responsibilities for migration programs
2. Discovery, Evaluation, and Strategic Planning
- Gathering inventory, mapping dependencies, and categorizing applications
- Evaluating cloud suitability and determining appropriate resource sizing
- Prioritizing application moves, structuring migration waves, and conducting risk analyses
3. Network, Security, and Landing Zone Architecture
- Designing VPCs, selecting connectivity options (VPN, Direct Connect), and implementing hybrid models
- Managing identity, access control, encryption, and governance protocols during migration
- Structuring account strategies, establishing landing zones, and setting baseline guardrails
4. Server Migration via AWS Application Migration Service (MGN)
- Understanding MGN architecture, replication mechanics, and configuration settings
- Testing replicated instances, executing trial cutovers, and verifying application integrity
- Performing final cutovers, conducting post-migration checks, and planning rollback procedures
5. Database Transition and Data Movement
- Key DMS concepts: initial load, change data capture (CDC), and continuous replication
- Considerations for schema transformation and strategies for data validation
- Options for bulk data transfer, including DataSync, the Snow family, and secure network transfers
6. Application Modernization and Refactoring Pathways
- Criteria for replatforming or refactoring, utilizing containers, serverless technologies, and managed services
- Architectural patterns for modernized systems (microservices, event-driven designs)
- Incremental migration techniques, such as the strangler fig pattern and hybrid coexistence models
7. Validation, Cutover, and Operational Preparedness
- Developing test plans, benchmarking performance, and conducting QA verification
- Coordinating cutover activities, managing DNS changes, and implementing traffic switching strategies
- Creating operational runbooks, establishing backup routines, and preparing for incident response
8. Cost Efficiency, Performance Tuning, and Post-Migration Management
- Optimizing resource utilization, leveraging savings plans, and enforcing cost governance
- Fine-tuning performance, configuring autoscaling, and managing storage lifecycles
- Conducting post-migration reviews, developing optimization roadmaps, and documenting key learnings
9. Practical Workshop: Comprehensive Migration Scenario
- Executing discovery and planning a migration wave for representative workloads
- Using MGN to replicate a server and performing a test cutover
- Migrating a sample database using DMS and verifying data accuracy
- Completing the final cutover, validating service functionality, and recording results
