Course Outline
1. Migration Strategy and Business Alignment
- Understanding the drivers for cloud migration and defining success metrics.
- Exploring migration patterns: rehost, replatform, refactor, repurchase, retire, and retain.
- Establishing clear objectives, KPIs, and defining organizational roles for migration programs.
2. Discovery, Assessment, and Strategic Planning
- Conducting inventory collection, dependency mapping, and logical application grouping.
- Evaluating cloud readiness and accurately sizing target resources.
- Prioritizing applications, structuring migration waves, and performing comprehensive risk assessments.
3. Network, Security, and Landing Zone Architecture
- Designing VPCs, evaluating connectivity options like VPN and Direct Connect, and implementing hybrid patterns.
- Managing identity, access control, encryption, and governance protocols throughout the migration lifecycle.
- Formulating account strategies, establishing landing zones, and defining baseline guardrails.
4. Server Migration via AWS Application Migration Service (MGN)
- Understanding MGN architecture, replication mechanisms, and configuration settings.
- Testing replicated servers, conducting test cutovers, and validating application functionality.
- Executing final cutover procedures, performing post-cutover verification, and planning rollback strategies.
5. Database Migration and Data Transfer Solutions
- Mastering DMS concepts, including full loads, change data capture (CDC), and continuous replication.
- Addressing schema conversion challenges and implementing robust data validation strategies.
- Utilizing bulk transfer options such as DataSync, the Snow family, and secure network transfers.
6. Application Modernization and Refactoring Pathways
- Determining when to replatform or refactor, focusing on containers, serverless architectures, and managed services.
- Applying design patterns for modernized architectures, including microservices and event-driven systems.
- Adopting gradual migration approaches like the strangler pattern and hybrid coexistence models.
7. Testing, Cutover, and Operational Maturity
- Developing test plans, conducting performance benchmarking, and executing QA validation.
- Coordinating cutovers, managing DNS updates, and implementing traffic switch strategies.
- Preparing operational runbooks, backup strategies, monitoring setups, and incident response readiness.
8. Cost Optimization, Performance Tuning, and Post-Migration Review
- Rightsizing resources, leveraging 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: End-to-End Migration Scenario
- Perform discovery tasks and plan a migration wave for sample workloads.
- Replicate a server using MGN and execute a test cutover.
- Migrate a sample database using DMS and validate the results.
- Complete the final cutover, verify service availability, and document outcomes.
