Cloud Migration Strategy Considerations

Cloud Migration services from your on-premise environment can sometimes be very simple and other times an extremely complicated project to implement. For either scenario there are always considerations to bear in mind when doing so. This course has been designed to highlight these topics to help you ask the right questions to aid in a successful Cloud migration.

Within this course we look at how timing plays an important part of your projects success and why phased deployments are important.

Security is also examined where we focus on a number of key questions that you should have answers to from a business perspective before your Cloud migration.

One of the biggest decisions is your chosen public cloud vendor, how do you make the decision between the available vendors, what should you look for when selecting you will host your architecture, this course dives into this question to help you finalize your choice.

Understanding the correct deployment model is essential, it affects how you architect your environment and each provides different benefits, so gaining the knowledge. I look at how you can break this question down to help you with your design considerations.

We also cover service readiness from your on-premise environment and how to align these to the relevant Cloud services.

Your design will certainly be different from your on-premise solution, I discuss the best approach when you start to think about your solution design, some of the do’s and some of the don’ts.

Once you have your design, it’s important to understand how you are actually going to migrate your services ensuring optimum availability and minimal interruption to your customer base, for example looking at Blue/Green and Canary deployments.

Cloud migration allows for some great advantages within your business continuity plans, as a result, I have included a lecture to discuss various models that work great within the Cloud.
