In my previous role, we migrated our company’s traditional on-premise infrastructure to a cloud-based architecture. The primary reason was scalability and cost-effectiveness. We chose AWS due to its robustness and wide range of services.
The migration process began with an assessment phase where we identified the applications and data that needed to be moved. This included customer databases, internal tools, and web servers.
Next, in the planning stage, we designed the new architecture using EC2 for compute power, S3 for storage, and RDS for database management. We also planned for security measures like IAM roles and VPCs.
During the execution phase, we used AWS Migration Service to move data without downtime. Applications were reconfigured to work in the new environment.
Post-migration, we monitored performance and made necessary adjustments. Regular audits ensured compliance with industry standards.
This migration improved our system’s scalability, reduced costs, and increased operational efficiency.
