Course Outline
1. Migration Strategy and Business Alignment
- Drivers for cloud adoption and definitions of success metrics.
- Core migration patterns: rehosting, replatforming, refactoring, repurchasing, retiring, and retaining.
- Establishing clear objectives, KPIs, and defining organizational roles for migration programs.
2. Discovery, Assessment, and Strategic Planning
- Collecting inventories, mapping dependencies, and organizing application groups.
- Evaluating cloud readiness and determining appropriate resource sizes.
- Prioritizing applications, constructing migration waves, and conducting risk analyses.
3. Network, Security, and Landing Zone Frameworks
- VPC architecture, connectivity solutions (VPN, Direct Connect), and hybrid integration patterns.
- Managing identity, access control, encryption, and governance throughout the migration lifecycle.
- Structuring account strategies, landing zones, and establishing baseline guardrails.
4. Server Migration via AWS Application Migration Service (MGN)
- Understanding MGN architecture, replication workflows, and configuration settings.
- Testing replicated instances, executing trial cutovers, and verifying application functionality.
- Executing final cutover procedures, performing post-migration checks, and planning rollback strategies.
5. Database Migration and Data Transfer Strategies
- DMS fundamentals: initial loads, change data capture (CDC), and continuous replication.
- Navigating schema conversion challenges and implementing data validation methods.
- Exploring bulk transfer solutions such as DataSync, the Snow family devices, and secure network transfers.
6. Application Modernization and Refactoring Pathways
- Determining when to replatform or refactor using containers, serverless technologies, and managed services.
- Applying design patterns for modern architectures, including microservices and event-driven systems.
- Adopting gradual migration techniques like the strangler pattern and hybrid coexistence models.
7. Testing, Cutover, and Operational Preparedness
- Formulating test plans, conducting performance benchmarks, and ensuring QA validation.
- Coordinating cutover activities, managing DNS changes, and switching traffic strategies.
- Developing operational runbooks, backup protocols, monitoring setups, and incident response readiness.
8. Cost Efficiency, Performance Optimization, and Post-Migration Activities
- Implementing rightsizing, leveraging savings plans, and enforcing cost governance post-migration.
- Tuning performance, configuring autoscaling, and managing storage lifecycles.
- Conducting post-migration reviews, creating optimization roadmaps, and documenting lessons learned.
9. Practical Workshop: End-to-End Migration Simulation
- Executing discovery processes and planning migration waves for representative workloads.
- Replicating a server instance using MGN and performing a trial cutover.
- Migrating a sample database via DMS and verifying data integrity.
- Completing the final cutover, validating service availability, and documenting final outcomes.
