Migrating to AWS From an End-of-Life Data Center
This lesson is a "live" scenario discussion where the Cloud Academy team tackle a migration project. Our customer needs to migrate out of their current data center by a certain date. They also would like to modernize their business applications.
Our brief in the exercise is to deliver:
- A target architecture that addresses the challenges described by the customer
- A migration plan detailing how to move the service to AWS with minimal interruption
- A recommendation on how to approach DR to achieve RPO of 24 hours and RTO of 4 hours
- An application optimization plan with a proposed enhancement roadmap
As a scenario, this series of lectures is recorded "live" and so is less structured than other Cloud Academy lessons. As a cloud professional you often have to think and design quickly, so we have recorded some of the content this way to best emulate the type of conditions you might experience in the working environment. Watching the team approach this brief can help you define your own approaches and style to problem-solving.
Intended audience
