Presentation
Migration to the AWS Cloud is a strategic process requiring rigorous planning and methodical execution. This advanced course is designed for professionals seeking to understand how to plan and migrate existing workloads to AWS.
This 3-day programme guides you through every migration phase. You will explore cloud readiness assessment, landing zone planning, application portfolio discovery and migration strategies. It also covers server and database migration execution, application integration, and post-migration modernisation and optimisation. Hands-on labs throughout the course provide practical application of the concepts.
By the end of this AWS course, you will be able to distinguish between strategies and plan and design an application migration. You will learn to perform and validate migration and optimise operations after transitioning to the cloud. This expertise provides the foundations to deliver complex migration projects within your organisation.
