The Migrating to AWS (AWSM) course offers a structured journey for IT professionals looking to efficiently migrate their infrastructure to AWS. The program focuses on different phases of the migration process, from application discovery to post-migration optimization, while creating custom landing zones.
Throughout the course, participants will gain in-depth knowledge of AWS migration tools, application migration strategies, and best practices to ensure a smooth cloud migration. Each module includes hands-on exercises and demonstrations, reinforcing the understanding of complex migration steps.
This training emphasizes the three main phases of the AWS migration process: assessment, mobilization, and migration. The first phase involves assessing your organization’s readiness using tools like the AWS Cloud Adoption Readiness Tool (CART), identifying gaps in your current infrastructure, and preparing for a seamless migration.
The mobilization phase focuses on organizing and structuring workflows, ensuring that all components of the infrastructure are ready for migration. You will also learn how to create landing zones on AWS, custom environments designed to host migrated applications, using AWS Control Tower for automated deployment and management of these environments. This is crucial for ensuring proper governance and centralized management of resources.
A highlight of this training is the discovery and use of various migration tools provided by AWS, such as the AWS Migration Hub, which enables you to track and manage the entire migration process from a single dashboard. Other specific tools are used for database migrations, including the AWS Database Migration Service (DMS), allowing smooth and fast database migrations to solutions like Amazon Aurora.
AWS best practices for successful migration also include process automation through tools like AWS Lambda, minimizing human error while speeding up the migration of critical applications. Leveraging these tools will allow you to maximize efficiency while reducing risks associated with migration.
Once the migration is complete, the course focuses on post-migration modernization and optimization opportunities. You will learn how to leverage AWS features to optimize costs, enhance security, and automate day-to-day operations. The use of Amazon S3 and Amazon ECS for storage and application deployment will be covered to ensure optimal performance.
What is AWS migration?
AWS migration involves moving applications, databases, and IT infrastructure to the AWS cloud platform, allowing businesses to benefit from AWS’s scalability, security, and cost savings.
What AWS tools are used for database migration?
AWS provides several database migration tools, including AWS Database Migration Service (DMS), which facilitates easy database migrations with minimal downtime.
Why use AWS Control Tower for migration?
AWS Control Tower simplifies the creation of landing zones to ensure governance, security, and centralized management of AWS environments during and after migration.
How long does an AWS migration take?
The duration of AWS migration depends on the size and complexity of your infrastructure. However, with the appropriate planning and automation tools, the process can be optimized to minimize downtime.
