Assessment Steps Pre-Assessment: Define scope, objectives, and timeline with stakeholders. Review architecture docs and gather AWS account, region, and service data Assessment and Discovery: Analyze AWS settings, permissions, EC2 instances, and S3 buckets. Review application architecture, networks, and data flows Gap Identification: Identify configuration gaps against standards and check GDPR/HIPAA compliance. Review data protection and incident response controls Recommendations: A detailed report with actionable steps to enhance the security of AWS environment Deliverables Assessment Report: Key gaps and vulnerabilities, prioritized by risk Actionable Roadmap: Step-by-step plan with actions, timelines, and resources Continuous Improvement Support: Guidance for ongoing AWS security monitoring

Purpose: Helps migrate on-premises databases like SQL Server, MySQL, or PostgreSQL to AWS services such as S3 Data Lake, Amazon RDS, Aurora, or DynamoDB. Benefits: Enables seamless migration and demonstrates the advantages of managing databases on AWS. Process Assess and Plan: Analyze migration impacts and benefits, review business and technical requirements, and create a comprehensive migration plan covering architecture, connectivity, monitoring, data synchronization, and testing/rollback strategies. Setup, Test, and Validate: Set up AWS environments, conduct test migrations using AWS Database Migration Service (DMS), perform rollback tests to minimize downtime and risk, and finalize the migration plan with thorough validation tests. Optimize and Transfer Knowledge: Focus on cost optimization strategies for AWS resources, implement monitoring with AWS CloudWatch and management with AWS Systems Manager, and transfer essential knowledge to the client's database support team.
