In this project, which mirrors a real-world scenario, I assumed the role of a Cloud Specialist tasked with migrating a workload from a Corporate DataCenter to AWS. This migration involved relocating both the application and database using the Lift & Shift (rehost) model, including all associated data.
The migration process followed these steps:
1. Planning: This included activities such as sizing, specifying prerequisites, and assigning resource names.
2. Execution: Resource provisioning and adherence to best practices were the focus during this phase.
3. Go-Live: This phase encompassed validation tests like dry-runs, and the final migration, known as the cutover.
4. Post Go-Live: This phase ensured the operation of the application and maintained user access.
