Migration to AWS

Migration to AWS introduction delivers a classroom-style training with simple analogies, explains the why behind cloud technology, and blends whiteboard demos and slides to connect learners with practical business benefits.

Understand the access phase in cloud migration by capturing a current snapshot of assets, configurations, performance data, and the cmdb to build a business case.

Compare application discovery service and migration evaluator, learn self-service versus managed deployment, and review agent-based and agentless data collection, storage, and database support in migration workflows.

Analyze how migration portfolio assessment guides the assess and mobilize phases, normalize data, estimate total cost of ownership, provide EC2 and database recommendations, and plan migration waves.

See how migration evaluator and application discovery service feed data into Migration Hub and Migration Portfolio Assessment, enabling an integrated inventory for the assess and mobilize phase.

Explore how AWS service catalog curates templates (products) into portfolios, enabling admins to deploy secure building blocks like VPCs, MySQL databases, and secure S3 buckets via cloud formation.

Relocate VMware workloads from on-prem to VMware cloud on AWS using hypervisor-level lift and shift. Preserve the base layer while exploring cloud native features and hybrid cloud options.

Replatforming moves on-prem applications and databases to a cloud, with minimal architecture changes, enabling auto scaling, managed storage, and automation via AWS DMS and RDS.

Refactor your monolith into microservices to boost availability and automation, using Migration Hub refactor spaces to safely route traffic and incrementally rewrite with cloud infrastructure and services.

Learn how to retire and decommission unused on-prem resources during AWS migration, using CloudWatch, Systems Manager, and managed directory services while managing dependencies and change control.

Set up and activate an AWS storage gateway, deploy an ESXi VM, and publish a Linux host as an S3 file gateway using NFS with a cache and S3 bucket.

Explore the AWS Snow Family for offline data transfer and rugged edge compute, from Snow Cone to Snowball Edge and Snowmobile, with encryption and S3 import/export.

Explore the migration hub orchestrator to automate large-scale cloud migrations on AWS by coordinating templates and workflows for rehost and replatform tasks, using discovery services and an application migration service.

Complete migration training covers assessment, mobilize, migrate and modernize, and explains migration methodologies and tools, with workshops to practice and prepare for interviews and certification.

Discover how AWS Systems Manager acts as an operations hub for patching, inventory, and automation across EC2, on-prem, and hybrid environments, using managed nodes and agents.

Explore how AWS SSM patch manager centralizes patching for Windows and Linux, creates baselines, applies auto-approval rules, and schedules patching with run commands and cron expressions.

Use AWS SSM run command to execute tasks on managed instances from console, command line, or SDK, including installing CloudWatch agent and configuring Docker across Linux, Windows, and Mac.
