Migration Phases
1. Assess Phase
Objective: Evaluate the current environment to understand application dependencies, infrastructure details, and estimate AWS costs.
Tools and Actions:
AWS Migration Evaluator:
- Collect data from on-premises resources including server types, utilization, configurations, and operational costs.
- Generate reports outlining potential cost savings and provide recommendations for AWS resources that align with the current setup.
AWS Application Discovery Service:
- Collects data about on-premises applications, including their dependencies and performance metrics.
- Identifies application dependencies, which helps in understanding interconnections and planning the migration sequence.
- Assists in creating a migration plan by providing detailed insights into application workloads and their performance
AWS Migration Readiness Assessment (MRA):
- Evaluates an organization’s readiness to migrate to AWS, identifying strengths and gaps across various dimensions such as business, people, process, platform, operations, and security.
- Provides detailed reports and actionable recommendations to address identified gaps and improve readiness for migration.
- Helps in defining a clear migration strategy, aligning business objectives with IT capabilities, and prioritizing migration efforts
2. Mobilize Phase
Objective: Prepare the AWS infrastructure for migration, including setting up environments, governance, and security practices.
Tools and Actions:
AWS Landing Zone:
- Quickly set up a secure and scalable multi-account AWS environment based on best practices.
- Deploy AWS Control Tower to automate the creation of a well-architected multi-account AWS environment.
- Utilize AWS Organizations for efficient account management and consolidated billing.
- Implement security baselines including encryption, logging, and monitoring strategies.
- Establish centralized control with AWS Single Sign-On (SSO) for managing user access across all AWS accounts
3. Migrate Phase
Objective: Actual migration of applications, data, and traffic to AWS
Tools and Actions:
- AWS Migration Hub: Provides a unified view of the entire migration proces
- AWS Application Migration Service: Automates the migration process, reducing time and effort
- Lift and Shift: Simplifies the migration process by transferring applications and data
“as-is” without redesigning or re-architecting. - AWS Database Migration Service (DMS): Efficient and secure database transfers supporting both homogeneous and heterogeneous migrations
- AWS DataSync: Moves large volumes of data quickly and securely from on-premises to AWS.
- AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery: Utilized for the migration process, ensuring minimal downtime and data loss
4. Optimize and Modernize Phase
Objective: Enhance applications to improve performance, reduce costs, and increase security by adopting cloud-native technologies.
Actions:
- Optimize resource allocation based on actual usage patterns.
- Modernize applications by adopting containerization (e.g., Amazon ECS, Amazon EKS) or serverless architectures (e.g., AWS Lambda)
- Implement DevOps practices for faster development cycles and improved maintenance.
- Enhance security measures and compliance postures using AWS tools and best practices.
