Explore the various challenges, benefits, strategies, tools, and deployment models associated with cloud migration. In addition, examine essential components, models, and decision matrix using cloud reference architecture. The key concepts in this course include: challenges businesses face when migrating to the cloud; cloud migration strategies that can be adopted to migrate business applications to the cloud; and the 6-R approach of cloud migration and essential factors used to choose the right approach. Learners will also learn about the 7-step methodology of cloud migration that can enable migration from on-premise platforms to cloud platforms; cloud deployment models, their advantages and disadvantages; cloud assets that can affect inbound and outbound data transfer costs; and the approach of building migration roadmaps with cloud migration framework. Next, examine tools to implement cloud migration; steps involved in deriving architectures and migrating applications to the cloud using based on a scenario; and prominent components, models, and decision matrix involved in cloud migration using generic cloud reference architecture. Finally, you will learn about cloud migration tools and their challenges and benefits.
