Course Outline
1. Migration Strategy and Business Objectives
- Understanding the drivers for cloud migration and defining success metrics.
- Exploring migration patterns: rehost, replatform, refactor, repurchase, retire, and retain.
- Setting clear objectives, KPIs, and defining organizational roles within the migration program.
2. Discovery, Assessment, and Strategic Planning
- Gathering inventory data, mapping dependencies, and grouping applications.
- Assessing cloud readiness and determining appropriate resource sizing for target environments.
- Prioritizing applications, constructing migration waves, and conducting risk assessments.
3. Network, Security, and Landing Zone Frameworks
- Designing VPCs, selecting connectivity options (VPN, Direct Connect), and implementing hybrid patterns.
- Managing identity, access controls, encryption, and governance throughout the migration process.
- Developing 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 servers, executing test cutovers, and verifying application functionality.
- Performing final cutover procedures, conducting post-cutover checks, and planning for rollback scenarios.
5. Database Migration and Data Transmission
- Mastering DMS concepts: full loads, change data capture (CDC), and continuous replication.
- Addressing schema conversion challenges and implementing effective data validation strategies.
- Utilizing bulk transfer solutions: DataSync, the Snow family, and secure network transfers.
6. Application Modernization and Refactoring Pathways
- Determining when to replatform or refactor using containers, serverless architectures, and managed services.
- Applying design patterns for modernized systems, including microservices and event-driven models.
- Adopting gradual migration approaches, such as the strangler pattern and hybrid coexistence.
7. Testing, Cutover, and Operational Preparedness
- Developing test plans, conducting performance benchmarking, and performing QA validation.
- Coordinating cutover activities, managing DNS, and implementing traffic switching strategies.
- Establishing operational runbooks, backup protocols, monitoring systems, and incident response readiness.
8. Cost Optimization, Performance Enhancement, and Post-Migration Activities
- Rightsizing resources, utilizing savings plans, and enforcing cost governance post-migration.
- Tuning performance, implementing autoscaling, and managing storage lifecycles.
- Conducting post-migration reviews, creating optimization roadmaps, and documenting lessons learned.
9. Practical Workshop: Complete Migration Scenario
- Executing discovery processes and planning a migration wave for representative workloads.
- Replicating a server using MGN and carrying out a test cutover.
- Migrating a sample database via DMS and verifying the results.
- Completing the final cutover, validating services, and documenting the outcomes.
