Overview of AWS Cloud Migration
This AWS Certified Cloud Migration course offered by Stalwart Learning is designed to provide participants with the knowledge and skills needed to plan and execute a successful cloud migration strategy using Amazon Web Services (AWS).
Throughout the training, you will learn about different types of cloud migration strategies, including rehosting, replatforming, and refactoring, and understand the benefits and challenges of each. You will also learn about various AWS services that can be used for cloud migration, such as AWS Server Migration Service (SMS), AWS Database Migration Service (DMS), and AWS CloudEndure, among others.
The course will cover essential topics, including cloud migration planning, application discovery, migration execution, and post-migration validation. You will learn how to assess application readiness for migration, choose the right migration strategy, and mitigate risks during the migration process.
Additionally, you will learn how to optimize your cloud infrastructure for cost, performance, and security post-migration, using AWS services like Amazon CloudWatch, AWS Trusted Advisor, and AWS Config.
By the end of the course, you will have hands-on experience with AWS migration tools and services and be able to plan and execute a successful cloud migration strategy for your organization. You will also be well-prepared to take the AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner certification exam and demonstrate your expertise in cloud migration within AWS.
