ChallengesTools can help with the below challenges

Data center migrations can involve thousands of workloads and tens of thousands of servers.

Large-scale server migration is a long and complex project with significant manual labor.

Complex application interdependencies that are poorly understood.

Identifying application inventory and dependencies manually slows down migration process.

Difficulty of testing server migrations iteratively makes them less confident about the migration process.

Long server downtime at cutover can incur additional business loss.

What Tools Do I Need To Consider?

Portfolio Discovery Tools

Server Migration Tools

Database Migration Tools

Data Migration Tools

Application Profiling Tools

Portfolio Discovery

Tools should automate your discovery process

and can be classified as:

Agent-based vs Agentless

Port scanning vs Packet scanning

Appliance-based vs SaaS offering

Portfolio Discovery

How will you deploy agents if it is an agent based

solution?

Will your security policies let you share administrative

credentials if needed with the tool?

Can the discovered data be stored in a location outside

of your organization?

Do you have or need application-to-port mapping details

or use custom ports?

Portfolio Discovery

Are you running any custom applications in your

environment?

Are there any restrictions on the type of ports that can be

used for scanning?

Do you need automated right sizing of the target

environment?

Do you need estimated run costs of the target

environment?

Do you have or need deep application or infrastructure

performance monitoring?

Planning Your Cloud Migration

Now that you’ve gathered all of the application and performance metrics for each server/application and have done a complete analysis and have consulted with the business/technology teams: Decide on a migration strategy

Retain; Retire; Re-purchase; Re-host; Re-platform; Re-factor

Decide on a priority and build the migration backlog. Identify tools to help facilitate the migration Start to architect and design what the operational landing

zone will look like.

Getting Ready for Migration Planning

Before you can create a detailed plan for your cloud migration project, you must have: A final architecture for the target environment in the AWS

cloud. Understand hybrid connectivity with the target cloud

environment. A discovery of your cloud migration portfolio. Details of the application owners. Come up with a contingency plan to ensure that the blast

radius is small is contained if there are issues.

Migration Planning Final Planning

Network connectivity Migration tools Monitoring Amount of data AWS service limits (soft and hard) On-premises limitations Test plans for the application and your users. Cutover plans Escalation and operational plans Define success criteria One last baseline performance analysis of the source environment

for comparison to the new environment.

AWS Server Migration ServiceAutomate the end-to-end server migration process

Automates an incremental

replication of live server volumes

to AWS

Orchestrates large-scale

server migrations

Migrate servers to AWS

in a cost effective manner

operating systems

Manage migration and track the

process easily with a GUI

Reduce server downtime at

cutover

AWS Database Migration ServiceOverview

Keep your applications running during

the migration

Start a replication instance

Configure both database endpoints

Select tables, schemas, or databases

Switch applications over to the target

at your convenience as AWS DMS

keeps the target database in sync.
