In this blog, we will cover the Q&As from Day 2 of Migrate Apps & Database to Cloud (AWS Workshop) covering AWS Migration Strategy FAQs. This blog will help you to get started with AWS Cloud Migration Strategy.
In this session, We covered Module 2: AWS Migration Strategy which covers the following objectives.
[Q/A] Related to AWS Migration Strategy
Q1: What is the meaning of AWS Migration Strategy?
Ans: The massive migration process is divided by AWS into three consecutive phases:
- Assess phase –Build the business case for the migration during the assessment phase.
- Mobilize phase –Prepare the organization and mobilize the resources required for the migration during the mobilization phase.
- Migrate and modernize phase of a large migration project –A significant migration project’s migration and modernization phase – To migrate and modernize, you employ your strategy, plan, and best practices. Initialization and implementation are the two stages of migration during this phase.
Q2: What are the Advantages of Cloud Migration?
Ans:
- Scalability – The inherent flexibility and scalability allow for resource allocation and planning without having to worry about future IT infrastructure.
- Reduced Costs – Cloud migration helps reduce both operating expenses and capital expenses by acquiring and paying for the resources only when required.
- Better Storage – Vast amounts of highly secure data storage at a fraction of the price to store the data on-premise.
- Automated Tasks – All cloud applications are updated in the backend without interference, thereby resulting in improved organization-wide stability.
- Operational Flexibility – A cloud solution allows you to be more flexible when testing and deploying applications, these applications are deployed from the backend, removing the need for manual installation, and applications can easily be replaced as required.
- Extensive Mobility – Important applications can be always accessed on the move with full security available.
Q3: What is AWS Cloud Adoption Framework?
Ans: The AWS Cloud Adoption Framework (AWS CAF) makes creative use of AWS and draws on AWS expertise and best practices to assist you in digitally transforming and accelerating your business outcomes. Specific organizational characteristics that support effective cloud conversions are identified by AWS CAF. These tools offer best practice advice that aids in enhancing your cloud preparedness.
Q4: What are the key components of the AWS cloud adoption framework?
Ans: AWS CAF groups its capabilities into six perspectives: Business, People, Governance, Platform, Security, and Operations. In the cloud transformation process, each perspective consists of a collection of capabilities that stakeholders who are functionally connected own or govern.
Q5: What are the four pillars of the AWS cloud value framework?
Ans: The Cloud Value Framework was created by AWS Cloud Economics to assist businesses in developing a thorough business case for the cloud by evaluating and monitoring progress against four essential dimensions of value: cost savings, employee productivity, operational resilience, and business agility.
Q6: What is the Business Perspective of cloud migration?
Ans: Business: It helps in understanding the stakeholders about how they should update the staff skills and organizational processes that will help in optimizing the business while they are moving into the cloud
People: Provides guidance to stakeholders for the development of people, training, and communications
Governance: These processes are necessary for ensuring business governance in the cloud, to manage and measure cloud investments for evaluation of resources used
Q7: What is the Technical Perspective of cloud migration?
Ans: 1. Dealing with Integration
- Data Gravity and Downtime for Migration
- Compliance and Security
- Networking, Connectivity, and Latency
- Supported Platforms
- Understanding the Technical Differences
Q8: what is Cloud Journey in AWS migration?
Ans: The journey to the cloud usually involves 4 phases:
- Project – This is the proof of concept (POC) stage
- Foundation –
-
- After gaining some experience with AWS by doing POC, we create the foundation for our cloud journey
- Creating a landing zone (A Pre-configured, secure multi-account AWS target environment)
- Migration – In this stage the customer starts to migrate the applications and databases to AWS
- Reinvention – This is an optimization phase where the customer can repeatedly improve their cloud resource to get the best value from the cloud.
Q9: What is the 7R Migration Pattern?
Ans: To migrate apps to the AWS Cloud, this data must be compared to the seven widely used migration techniques (7 Rs). Refactor, replatform, repurchase, rehost, relocate, retain, and retire are some of these tactics.
Q10. What is Replatforming in Migration?
Ans: Replatforming is a technique for moving out-of-date systems to the cloud without changing their core architecture. The platform strategy is also referred to as Move and Improve, Lift and Reshape, and the Lift, Tinker, and Shift application migration strategy.
Q11. What is the difference between Rehost and Replatform?
Ans: Applications can be lifted and shifted, or moved to the cloud as-is. Another term for this procedure is rehosting. Applications need to be refactored in order to work better in the cloud. Replatforming involves moving software to the cloud while making little changes and retaining its benefits.
Q12: What are the advantages of moving a company to AWS?
Ans: Deliver the value more quickly and more affordably by reducing the time to value.
Increase your innovative efforts now that AWS has significantly decreased the cost of failure.
Capital expenditures (Capex) and operational expenditures (Opex): Compared to on-premise data centers, the AWS cloud has a significantly cheaper total cost of ownership.
Q13: How long does it take to assess a well-architecture?
Ans: AWS Well-Architected Reviews last between two and three hours. Two more hours should be set aside for discussing the findings and suggestions. It takes a whole day to complete the process, including analysis and feedback.
We like to do the evaluation at the beginning of the day and provide comments at the end of the day if we are finishing the process with you in person on-site. In the time between the two sessions, we will prepare our recommendations and any necessary supporting information. We can, however, be flexible in this regard. The review and feedback sessions can also be managed remotely.
Q14: What can I use the AWS Well-Architected Tool for?
Ans: You can evaluate workloads using the Well-Architected Framework, custom lenses, and AWS’s pre-built lenses. The AWS Well-Architected Tool presents a list of potential problems it has identified in your workloads and offers step-by-step instructions for fixing them. You may also see any potential problems that might have been discovered in your workload portfolio. To make managing your AWS WA Tool resources easier, you may categorize each workload and provide your own metadata to each resource.
Share the workloads and unique lenses that you have created with other AWS accounts, IAM users who are located in the same AWS Region, and AWS Organizations. The Well-Architected APIs can be used to expand AWS Well-Architected functionality.
Q15: Can I use the AWS Application Migration Service to duplicate my data to AWS without using the open internet?
Ans: Yes, you can control the data replication path with AWS Application Migration Service utilizing private connectivity options such as a VPN, AWS Direct Connect, VPC peering, or another private connection.
