Course Outline
1. Migration Strategy and Business Objectives
- Understanding the drivers for cloud migration and defining key success indicators.
- Exploring migration patterns: rehost, replatform, refactor, repurchase, retire, and retain.
- Setting clear objectives, KPIs, and defining organisational roles within migration programs.
2. Discovery, Assessment, and Strategic Planning
- Collecting inventories, mapping dependencies, and grouping applications logically.
- Evaluating cloud readiness and accurately sizing target resources.
- Prioritising applications, constructing migration waves, and conducting risk assessments.
3. Network, Security, and Landing Zone Design
- Designing VPCs, exploring connectivity options (VPN, Direct Connect), and hybrid patterns.
- Managing identity, access, encryption, and governance protocols during the migration phase.
- Developing account strategies, landing zones, and establishing 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 integrity.
- Managing final cutover procedures, post-cutover validations, and rollback planning.
5. Database Migration and Data Transfer
- Mastering DMS concepts: full loads, change data capture (CDC), and continuous replication.
- Addressing schema conversion challenges and implementing robust data validation strategies.
- Utilising bulk transfer options such as DataSync, the Snow family, and secure network transfers.
6. Application Modernisation and Refactoring
- Determining when to replatform or refactor using containers, serverless technologies, and managed services.
- Applying design patterns for modernised architectures, including microservices and event-driven systems.
- Adopting gradual migration approaches, such as the strangler pattern and hybrid coexistence models.
7. Testing, Cutover, and Operational Readiness
- Developing test plans, conducting performance benchmarking, and ensuring QA validation.
- Coordinating cutovers, managing DNS updates, and executing traffic switching strategies.
- Establishing operational runbooks, backup protocols, monitoring frameworks, and incident readiness.
8. Cost Optimisation, Performance Tuning, and Post-Migration Tasks
- Implementing rightsizing, leveraging savings plans, and governing costs post-migration.
- Fine-tuning performance, configuring autoscaling, and managing storage lifecycles.
- Conducting post-migration reviews, defining optimisation roadmaps, and documenting lessons learned.
9. Hands-on Workshop: End-to-End Migration Scenario
- Executing discovery processes and planning a migration wave for sample workloads.
- Replicating a server using MGN and performing a test cutover.
- Migrating a sample database with DMS and validating the results.
- Completing the final cutover, verifying services, and documenting the outcomes.
