Migrating to AWS Training Overview

Migrating to AWS Course is essential for IT professionals looking to lead cloud transformation in their organizations. With more businesses moving to the cloud every year, demand for professionals who understand AWS migration strategies is at an all-time high. According to AWS, companies that migrate to the cloud report up to 31% infrastructure cost savings and 62% improved IT staff productivity.

This three-day, hands-on course provides a deep understanding of how to assess, plan, and execute the migration of applications, data, and workloads to the AWS Cloud. You'll explore the full migration lifecycle—from discovery and readiness assessments to post-migration validation and optimization—using AWS-native tools and best practices.

Through interactive labs and real-world use cases, you’ll build the confidence and practical skills needed to drive cloud migration projects and modernize enterprise workloads successfully.

Course Objectives

By the end of the Migrating to AWS Course, you’ll be able to evaluate cloud migration opportunities and lead cloud migration initiatives with clarity and confidence. You will gain a solid understanding of the three-phase AWS migration process and be able to distinguish among various migration strategies—knowing when and how to apply each one.

You’ll learn how to assess an organization’s migration readiness, discover and analyze application portfolios, and plan end-to-end migrations using AWS tools like Migration Hub, Application Discovery Service, and Database Migration Service (DMS). You’ll also explore how to perform migrations, validate applications, and optimize workloads post-deployment.

Ultimately, this course will equip you with the technical knowledge, strategic insight, and hands-on experience required to execute successful cloud migrations—whether you’re migrating a few apps or leading a full-scale enterprise transformation.
