Apply the plan, migrate, and run framework of the application migration methodology. Understand cost drivers on premises, consolidation needs, and cloud-based utilization to optimize post-migration operations.
Application of Migration Use Cases11:01
Explore discovery, design, and build steps to plan migration, assess environments, choose lift-and-shift or refactor options, and select tools for manual or automated data and application migration to AWS.
Map Out Application Migration Activites6:43
Map out the week-by-week application migration activity, detailing discovery, design and build, dependencies, testing, VPC connectivity, data migration, artifacts, and end-to-end testing with owner sign-off.
Overview of AWS Management Console6:27
Take a practical tour of the AWS Management Console, exploring compute, storage, database, migration, security and compliance services, and learn to create IAM users and groups.
Overview of AWS Management Console Continues7:17
Create and manage free-tier aws resources by launching EC2 instances (windows or linux), configuring VPC and security settings, and setting up S3 buckets with versioning, logging, and lifecycle rules.
AWS Walk Through7:40
Explore an AWS walk through that emphasizes planning, cost considerations, and migration tools, outlining source-to-destination strategies and run‑and‑maintain practices across EC2, S3, Glacier, and CloudFormation.

Application Migration Challenges6:09
Navigate application migration challenges from discovery and data sources to licensing and security, and plan, assess, and cost-out migrations with AWS and partner tools.
On Premises Cost Drivers7:46
Identify on-premises cost drivers: servers, storage, network, and labor to plan cloud migration with cost savings. Apply plan, migrate, and run methodology to assess dependencies, group applications, and enable optimization.
Application Disposition11:41
Mastering application disposition within cloud migration, this lecture guides discovery, design, and plan for moving or refactoring applications to AWS, detailing lift-and-shift, live migration, tooling, and cutover strategies.
Migration Investment Overview7:06
Explore a phased cloud migration, from discovery and VPC design to data migration, testing, and owner sign, with cost modeling and risk factors.
Creating Groups in Miragation8:40
Navigate the AWS management console to create IAM users and groups, and provision EC2 instances in the free tier for Migration Hub and Application Discovery Service.
Creatiing Amazon Machine Images (AMI)5:47
Create and configure EC2 instances and VPCs, set up S3 buckets with versioning and permissions, and apply IAM, lifecycle policies, and logging to support cloud migration.
AWS Platform7:48
Explore the AWS platform and migration planning, highlighting EC2, S3, Glacier, CloudWatch, CloudTrail, CloudFormation, SQS, and SNS, and discuss tools for source-to-destination migration, OVF-based approaches, and costs.

Virtual Machine and Migrations Services6:30
Explore virtualization and hypervisor-based migration within the IaaS model, provisioning virtual machines across public, private, and hybrid clouds, with EC2 examples and migration tools for end-to-end cloud migration.
VM Provisioning Process4:58
Master high availability concepts and SLAs in virtual environments, and learn the VM provisioning lifecycle—from OS templates and cloning to P2V migration.
Migrations Techniques7:22
Explore live migration techniques that move a running virtual machine between hosts with minimal downtime, transferring memory and vm state via pre-copy, stop-and-copy, and commitment.
Example of Migrations Techniques8:06
Engage in a practical session to create and configure an S3 bucket for data migration, set permissions, and upload objects, then launch an EC2 instance and explore cloud formation templates.
Example of Migrations Techniques Continues8:06
Highlight AWS migration strategies with S3, VPC, and discovery service, and compare manual migration, online migration, and import/export data migrations, noting rehosting, lift-and-shift, and cost considerations.
Cloud Computing and Cloud Services Model5:27
Learn cloud computing fundamentals, including infrastructure as a service, platform as a service, and software as a service, with AWS examples and migration considerations.
Key Takeways8:45
Develop a comprehensive cloud migration plan by outlining strategy, discovery, data and workload migration methods, downtime mitigation, tool selection, and cost considerations with AWS services guidance.
Key Takeways Continues2:27
Manage cloud migration costs by evaluating server, storage, network, overhead, and labor expenses. Learn how tooling choices and downtime planning affect migration strategy and cutover timing.
