Whether you're considering a move to the cloud for the first time or looking to enhance your existing cloud strategy, this guide will serve as your roadmap, providing insights, strategies, and best practices to ensure a smooth and successful migration.

Understanding AWS

Overview of AWS Services: Amazon Web Services provides a robust suite of services that form the building blocks of a scalable and resilient infrastructure. From the Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) for flexible computing power to the Simple Storage Service (S3) for scalable object storage, AWS offers a comprehensive ecosystem designed to empower businesses of all sizes.

AWS Migration Strategies: Migrating to the cloud involves critical decision-making, and AWS provides multiple strategies to tailor the migration approach to your specific needs. Whether you're opting for a lift-and-shift "rehosting" strategy or a more transformative "rearchitecting" approach, understanding the available options is crucial for a successful migration journey.

Migration process

Step 1: Assess your readiness

The migration readiness assessment helps you identify gaps along the six dimensions of the AWS Cloud Adoption Framework - business, process, people, platform, operations, and security. This assessment enables you to identify the capabilities required in the migration and build a TCO model for your migration project.

Step 2: Mobilize your resources

The mobilize phase helps you build an operational foundation for your migration, with the goal of fixing the capability gaps identified in the assessment phase. The mobilize phase accelerates your migration decisions by providing clear guidance on migration plans that improve the success of your migration.
