Migrating to AWS
The Migrating to AWS (MTMAWS) course helps participants understand how to migrate existing applications in their on-premises data center to AWS. Participants will learn best practices for planning and executing a migration, including preparation activities, migration model, data/application migration, and post-migration planning and testing. The focus of the course is on infrastructure-related migration activities, not application-related ones. The course is designed for operations managers, IT managers, and architects who have hands-on experience using AWS services to build solutions. Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to assess on-premises applications and identify migration opportunities to AWS, create a migration plan, and migrate applications effectively. This course helps prepare for the AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate and Professional certifications .
