Course Overview
This intermediate-level, 3-day instructor-led course teaches you how to plan and migrate existing workloads to the AWS Cloud. You will learn cloud migration strategies and how to apply each step of the migration process, including portfolio discovery, application migration planning and design, conducting a migration, and post-migration validation and optimization. Five hands-on labs reinforce learning and provide the foundation necessary to complete migration tasks in your organization.
What You Will Accomplish
After completing this course, participants will be able to:
- Assess organizational readiness and build a business case for cloud migration
- Design and implement a secure AWS landing zone using AWS Control Tower and AWS Organizations
- Discover application portfolios and select appropriate migration strategies for each workload
- Execute application and database migrations using AWS Application Migration Service (AWS MGN), AWS Database Migration Service, and related tools
- Validate, optimize, and modernize applications post-migration using containers and serverless architectures
- Apply AWS migration best practices to reduce risk, minimize downtime, and accelerate cloud adoption
Migration Scenario Context
Labs simulate migrating a multi-tier web application with a relational database from an on-premises environment to AWS. You will practice server migration, database migration to Amazon Aurora, network connectivity configuration, and application optimization using Amazon S3 and Amazon ECS - reflecting common enterprise migration patterns.
