Easy Deploy AWS Cloud Consulting

Migrating to cloud infrastructure can be tricky. You should need an expert to implement migrate and manage your infrastructure on cloud. You can contact us at www.easydeploy.cloud/contact-us/ if your team is lagging the required cloud knowledge. 

There are many procedures that the pros use before migrating to cloud infrastructure. I have listed 8 of them below. 

●     Gathering business requirements.

Not every business is same. Hence, same solution doesn't suit them all. Some company best suits with private cloud architecture, others may require hybrid cloud and remaining with public cloud. Hence, it's necessary to gather the information about the business model and choose the cloud infrastructure.

●     Choosing the right cloud vendor.

Few companies may only need cloud servers and everything else can be controlled with other DevOPS tools rather than relying on features like AWS lambda, AWS elastic beanstalk or Google App engine. For which they can opt for on promises or other public cloud like DigitalOcean.com, Vultr.com, IBM cloud, etc.,

●     Choosing the right cloud tools.

Once you have chosen the right cloud provider, you will have to choose the right cloud services offered by your chosen cloud provider. If your application doesn't require more customisation you can opt in for AWS lambda, if your application requires a little customisation then you can opt for AWS elastic beanstalk. If your application requires more customisation then you can chose AWS EC2.

●     Define the migration workflow.

Defining Migration workflow not only gives a clear picture of the migration process to your organisation but also to yourself. This if done via pictorial representation it will be greatly helpful.

●     Migrate on phases.

Always remember that you cannot build Rome in a single day. Migrate your infrastructure by breaking them into multiple chunks rather than migrating them all together. Migrating them all together will only create mess and often extend the deadlines with improperly finished tasks.

●     Migrate the licenses.

As we all know that all the softwares comes with a license. The licence type may differ depending on the underlying software provider. Few may be username based license others may be IP based or domain name based. Username based licenses may not require migration as the username is going to be same post migration IP and domain based licenses would require rekeying the licenses based upon the new cloud infrastructure.

●     Verify the application.

Once the migration is done it has to be verified to ensure the applications are compatible with the newer environment bugs or any incompatibilities should be fixed using temporary URLs or using testing tools.

●     Go live on cloud.

Once the applications are tested to be performing fine we can switch the production IP to new cloud environment.
